HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that your son must be having some fungal infection, taking the biopsy is depends upon the gross appearance of the lesion and over all clinical condition and the skill of surgeon for this you need to have a word with the surgeon, take care and have a nice day.
