Next, the doctor will probably (but not always) draw out the area that needs to be removed. The best shape for a cut is an 'ellipse', although actually it's not a true ellipse because it is pointy at both ends. This shape allows for the best healing. Usually the ellipse will be about 3 or 4 times as long as it is wide.

This is the classic shape for a skin biopsy.

Of course a dictionary translation from someone who has no medical knowledge is preferable.
Note from asker:
My apologies. My recent research shows that you were correct all along. Too bad selections can't be changed. Thanks anyway!
