Spanish term

Biopsia incisional de nódulo mamario izquierdo con aguja cortante

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Instruments Breast biopsy
This text is part of a pathology report. I know that breast biopsies can be made with core needles or fine needles but never heard of this other type of biopsy. Research online leads me to something called "tru-cut needle" but I believe this might be only one of the types of needles used for a "biopsia con aguja cortante" and not necessarily the correct translations.

Any help will be appreciated.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

incisional core needle biopsy of left breast nodule

It seems to refer to an incisional core needle biopsy. Aunque las referencias no consiguen aclarar del todo la cuestión, diría que en este caso no se alude ni a un Punch ni a un Trucut sino a la idea genérica de biopsia incisional (mediante aguja cortante); incisional (core) biopsy / incisional core needle biopsy.

Anoto las referencias principales (y si encuentro un rato intentaré explicar mi razonamiento...).
Saludos!

Incisional biopsy: Partial or incisional biopsies are performed to establish a diagnosis or to remove a lesion with a minimum of scarring while acquiring an adequate specimen to evaluate the histology. The four types of incisional biopsy are punch incision, shave incision, saucerization, and elliptical incision.

Needle biopsy
- Fine needle biopsy (also called fine needle aspiration)
- Core needle biopsy (also called core biopsy)
Excisional or incisional biopsy
- In this type of biopsy, a surgeon cuts through the skin to remove the entire tumor (called an excisional biopsy) or a small part of a large tumor (called an incisional biopsy)

I believe incisional core needle biopsy and biopsia con aguja cortante in the examples below must definitely refer to the same procedure.

La biopsia con aguja cortante es precisa para identificar si un nódulo tiroideo es neoplásico, pero se trata de un procedimiento invasor y conlleva riesgo de implantación tumoral a lo largo de la vía de entrada de la aguja; otra alternativa es la biopsia quirúrgica del nódulo y su estudio con biopsia rápida, pero ello implica una cirugía mayor con los riesgos, los costos y las molestias que conllevan al paciente. Así, la alternativa de la PAAF en las lesiones nodulares del tiroides es una excelente herramienta, es tan precisa como la biopsia con aguja cortante pero sin el riesgo de implantación tumoral en la vía de entrada de la aguja
