Usually takes 24 to 48 hours or even two to seven days depending on the findings and tissue processing. Thank you.
Depends on the case. Results are usually given to the surgeon's office between 24-48 hours. If you have not heard from your surgeon within a week, give them a call.

For routine specimens, there is usually 24-hr turnaround. Specimens that are received late may not be handled until the following day and processing is an automated overnight procedure. Cases requiring special diagnostic procedures will require extra time.

It should not take more than a day or two. You need to call the pathology department of the hospital they should give your results.
