Sounds like a FNA to me, but here is some quick info to look for that may help you determine FNA vs Biopsy:

FNA
Cytology Report
pulling of fluid/cells
22 gague or grater is typically a fine needle aspiration
"chiba" is a fine needle

Biopsy
Pathology report
pulling tissue
"temno" is used for core and tissue biopsies
