Depends on where it is and how tricky it is to remove it. In my husband's case, the oral surgeon took a tiny bit for the initial biopsy in an in-office procedure, but referred my husband to an ENT for a more extensive procedure (including full anesthesia) to remove the whole thing.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
