How Long Will It Take For Biopsy And MRI Report To Come After Being Diagnosed With Cellulitis?
I was recently diagnosed with cellulitis in my left breast. During the ultrasound a large mass was discovered. I go for follow up appointments.... The usual tests, mammogram, ultrasound, MRI and possible biopsies. What kind of wait time can I expect on my biopsies and MRI results?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The waiting time can vary from one institution to the next. It would depend on staffing, number of tests being analysed and institution policy.
In general, a report from an MRI may be available in 2 to 4 days and a biopsy result 1 to 2 weeks possibly.
You may want to ask your doctor about the expected waiting period.
I hope this helps
