A Histopathological Study of Limb Lesions: Retrospective Study at Rims, Ranchi

Abstract

Limb lesions of skin, soft tissue and bone are commonly encountered. They include a multitude of non neoplastic, benign and malignant diseases ranging from lipoma to brosarcoma and from epidermal cyst to squamous cell carcinoma. An insight of the pattern of various limb diseases in relation to site, age, and type of lesion assists in better comprehension of differential diagnosis for histopathologists. A retrospective study of histopathologically diagnosed cases of Material & Methods: 47 limb lesion patients from June 2020 to May 2021 was undertaken. A total 47 cases included 28 male and 19 female, Results: 55% of cases belong to age group 21 to 50 years. 13 (28%) cases were of upper extremity and 34 (72%) from lower extremity. 15 (34%) cases were non-neoplastic, 13 (28%) were benign lesion and rest 19 (38%) were malignant lesions. Lower limb lesions are more common than Conclusion: upper limb lesions. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm and lipoma is the most common benign disease of extremity. Pyogenic granuloma and epidermal cyst were found to be the most common non-neoplastic extremity lesions. Fibrosarcoma was the most common type of sarcoma observed in 9% cases. Chronic osteomyelitis was the most common bony lesion.

“…Lithologically the study area represents a highly metamorphosed and deformed Archean hard rock terrain with predominant Chotanagpur gneiss along with varied types of granitic rocks, pegmatites, quartzofelspathic veins, schistose rocks and isolated exposures of calcsilicate rocks (Sengupta and Sarkar,1964;Ghosh,1983;Sanyal and Sengupta,2012). The lithounits of the area primarily comprises of pelitic, psammitic, and calcareous sediments, which have been affected by multiple tectonic activities, polyphase metamorphism and magmitism (Sinha, 1998). As per the groundwater province classification proposed by Singh R.L (1971), the above rocks are classified as crystalline formation with poor aquifer yield.…”
