How long should it take for biopsies after an endoscopy to get back?/
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually a few days: Slides are usually ready for the pathologist to examine the next day or so after the biopsy. Depending on whether additional tests need to be performed, a diagnosis may be available in 24-48 hours after the procedure. The results typically go to your doctor first who will contact you. Additional tests (such as to check for the bacteria that produce stomach ulcers) may add an extra day.
