Biopsy and Pathology Information

BIOPSY INFORMATION.
You have just had a skin biopsy taken for examination purposes. This specimen was removed to evaluate a skin growth or rash. Your skin sample will be examined in a laboratory where a skin pathologist will look at it under a microscope. The findings of the examined skin will be reported back to our office within a one to two week time frame. We will contact you with your pathology results as soon as possible (usually one to three weeks). An office surgery will be scheduled if further treatment is necessary.

YOUR PATHOLOGY REPORT CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR A PRECANCER OR CANCER.
WHAT'S NEXT?
As soon as possible, your report will be reviewed with you by our triage nurse and the options for treatment will be discussed with you. If surgery is actually needed (sometimes it is not), our triage department will review important before and after surgery instructions with you and schedule your procedure.

If you have any other questions about your biopsy report, please contact our surgical care team at 904.285.7546 ext 210 or 240 or email amy@pvderm.com. We will be happy to assist you!
