- Biopsy of Shoulder Lesions:
- bx of humerus thru deltopectoral interval causes dissemination of tumor cells at a distance, through normal neurovascular planes;
- following such a biopsy approach, local resection of proximal aspect of humerus is more prone to be followed by a local recurrence;
- it would be more appropriate to biopsy the tumor through anterior deltoid muscle and then to resect en bloc biopsy-contaminated
deltoid with the humerus during the definitive procedure
