- FungusThere are many different types of biopsies—for example, a skin biopsy, prostate biopsy, or a fine needle aspiration (FNA), which occurs when a needle draws out material from a mass such as in a breast or lymph node. The most common reason for a biopsy is to evaluate the presence or absence of cancer, but a biopsy can also be used to detect other forms of disease, bacteria, virus, or fungus.
