You should have at least preliminary results within 2-3 business days. Depending on what is found on the biopsy, further testing of the specimen may be done, adding usually a couple more days for a final report.

Liver biopsies results usually takes from 12 to 24 hours even a week, depending on the findings an any additional tests that might be needed to be performed for the final diagnosis. Thank you.
Results of biopsy of soft tissues are usually available in 1-2 days. If special studies are or consultation is needed, it may take a week or so.
