A biopsy in the neck will mean your doctor is checking for SCROFULA. Scrofula is the term used for tuberculosis of the neck, or, more precisely, a cervical tuberculous lymphadenopathy. The link I have provided tells the past history of scrofula and how it is diagnosed today. If you scroll down the page you will see a slide show that uses images and well as text to describe the disease. Hope you find it useful
