How long does it take for me to get the results pathology report?

Your doctor: Pathology reports are generally sent to the doctor requesting the test. Reports are not usually sent to the patient directly, as all lab reports need to be interpreted in the context of the total health picture. Most blood lab tests are reported the same day. Tissue reports often take 2-7 days or longer, depending on the complexity of examination.

1-2 days: Many pathology reports on tissue samples should be available within 1-2 days after receipt in the laboratory. Some more sophisticated testing, though, may delay reports for several additional days. Pathology results would typically get sent directly to your doctor that submitted the specimen so that they could interpret the results in light of your entire clinical situation.

Turnaround time: Most simple cases are signed out in 2 business days. Very complicated cases may require additional stains and the help of a consultant and could take a few more.

2days to a week: sonetimes the next day after biopsy. Sometimes 4 days if it is over a weekend
