For Example: Your Doctor could ask if you or in your family have had an intraocular tumor like retinoblastoma, uveal melanoma, glaucoma, conjunctival pigmented lesions, vitreous large cell lymphoma, and sebaceous cell carcinoma. An ophthalmic evaluation involves gross dissection and microscopic examination and diagnosis of eyes and ocular adnexal tissue that have been surgically removed. It highly specialized branch of the medical laboratory and the specialty is called Ophthalmic Pathology. Also, retinal pathology questions such as congenital anomalies, degenerations, dystrophies, toxicities, inflammation, trauma, detachments, neoplasm, and any involvement of systemic diseases. Thank you.
I am guessing that you had a biopsy and the pathology report will be that of the results of this biopsy. Your treating surgeon will receive a report from the pathologist giving the details of the results. It is unlikely that you will get the microscopic details presented. You will be told whether the architecture of the biopsy was benign or malignant (a cancer). If benign, that is usually the end of the issue. If malignant, further work might need to be done and depending upon the type of malignancy you might be advised to have systemic studies for cancer spread, and sometimes referral to an oncologist for treatment. 
Just your medical or eye history to determine your problems
