Dr. Peter McKenna:
The diagnosis is not made until a sample is looked at under a microscope histologically. That requires a biopsy to be taken. Only then can what is until then a well-informed impression which is likely to be correct be confirmed. The ultimate arbiter is a pathologist looking at a sample under a microscope. Only then can a definitive diagnosis be given.
