Question 65

• biopsy: Involves removing tissue for examination, not scraping/scooping surface.
• endoscopy: Uses a scope to view internal organs, not scraping tissue surface.
• curettage: Defined as scraping or scooping tissue surface (e.g., skin or tumor cavity wall).
• dermabrasion: Focuses on skin resurfacing (abrasion), not tissue surface scraping of tumor cavities.

• bunion: A foot deformity, not related to stratum corneum epithelial cells.
• cyst: A closed sac with fluid, not a horny mass of epithelial cells.
• wart: Caused by virus, not a thickened horny mass of condensed epithelial cells in stratum corneum.
• callus: Thickened horny mass of condensed epithelial cells in stratum corneum due to friction/pressure.
