A biopsy for a mass on the bowel is typically performed during a colonoscopy, where a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the rectum to visualize the colon. If a suspicious mass is identified, a small sample of tissue can be obtained using specialized tools attached to the colonoscope. The collected tissue is then sent to a laboratory for histological analysis to determine the nature of the mass. In some cases, if the mass is not accessible via colonoscopy, a surgical biopsy may be necessary.

During a pap smear if a doctor finds a mass will a doctor do a biopsy?

Pap smear uses a small sample of cells gently collected from the cervix to look for cancer or precancerous problems on the cervix. A pap smear doesn't detect a mass. If a doctor finds a mass at the vulva or cervix at the time of your pelvic exam, a biopsy may be done. If the mass is internal, for example at the uterus or ovaries, it's not likely that you've have a biopsy that day.
