PathLang is a new, language‑centered benchmark for vision‑language models in computational pathology. It keeps the underlying pathology slides, ground‑truth labels, and image‑text evaluation direction constant while systematically varying the diagnostic language used in prompts, reflecting how pathologists actually rephrase diagnoses. The benchmark covers four task families—zero‑shot classification with image‑text alignment, cross‑modal retrieval, paraphrase robustness, and open‑vocabulary diagnosis retrieval—and evaluates nine VLMs across five public datasets spanning four organs.
