Abstract

Introduction: As diagnostic complexity in pathology increases, mainly in cancer diagnoses, the demand for second opinions from specialized and highly qualified centres also increases. There is a certain lack of uniformity in the criteria for carrying out these consultations, managing the material under review, and the responses from the consultant centre. Material and methods: In order to establish recommendations on the aspects to be considered both by the pathologist or referring centre and by the pathologist or consultant centre, a group of experts from the Spanish Society of Anatomical Pathology conducted a literature review of guidelines and recommendations from other societies and relevant published articles. Based on this review, consensus criteria have been established. Results: Recommendations are provided on how second opinions in pathology should be managed by both the referring and consultant pathologists, including aspects of material submission and funding. Conclusion: Second opinions should be carried out following standardized guidelines for both the referring and consultant pathologists, covering referral, management of discrepancies, and funding to ensure a consistent system. © 2025
