I had a biopsy today. How long does biopsy pathology take?

It generally takes 14 days but contact your pathologist for a more in-depth answer to your question.
A biopsy takes 24 to 48 hours to have a pathological diagnosis. If the biopsy shows something that needs further investigation with additional staining or a second opinion by another pathologist due to the rare findings, it could take a little longer. Thank you.
