Biopsy results usually take less than a week unless there is are additional studies needed to get a final result. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

The amount of time it takes to get results from the biopsy of a mole can vary and may depend on how busy the pathology lab is to where the mole was sent.  I would say in most cases, it should not take more than a week or so but in some cases it could be longer.

Miguel Mascaro, MD · Answer

Usually it takes about 5-7 days for biopsy results to get back.  It depends on what stains the pathologists makes, etc.  The office where you had your biopsy should have the results soon, and I'm sure they will contact you with the findings.

Thank you for your inquiry. Most results are received within 2 - 3 weeks in Montreal Canada. This amount of time will vary depending on the clinical finding and the pathology lab. Regards,
