After having a biopsy or other surgery for the pathology tests it can take 10 to 14 days to get the test results back to the doctor.

Pathology reports are written in technical medical language so unless you're a doctor you won't be able to understand the results from the test and will have to have the doctor explain the test results to you.

You can ask the doctor to give you a copy of pathology report and have them explain it to you.
