“…Out of 11 patients of cutaneous TB, a majority of patients had active/past history of pulmonary TB or a close contact with TB. Among cutaneous tuberculosis, we had 6 cases (3.3%) of lupus vulgaris, 1 case (0.87%) of scrofuloderma and 1 case (0.87%) of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TBVC) which is similar to Bal et al and Grover et al 10,17 study. In all cases, the tuberculin test was strongly positive, which is in agreement with the fact that Lupus vulgaris occurs in immunocompetent individuals.…”

“…In our study, maximum number of cases belonged to 51-60 years of age group with females predominating the group (52.4%). This finding was different when compared with the study conducted by Narang et al 2 and Grover et al 8 In Narang et al 2 study, maximum number of cases were in the age group of 21-30 years with males predominating the group (30.20%). Grover et al 8 observed that 11-20 years age group was commonest with predominance of males in their study constituting to 68%.…”

Introduction: Skin is the largest sensory organ of the body and acts as a barrier against various harmful environmental agents. Thus it is involved in wide spectrum of disorders ranging from inflammatory conditions to neoplastic lesions. Skin biopsy followed by histopathological study is needed for accurate diagnosis, identifying etiological agent with special stains wherever feasible, and to help clinicians to decide the appropriate management. But for instance, only few statistical studies have been carried out in southern India. Thus, the present study was carried out with an aim of describing the histopathological spectrum of all the skin lesions in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: The present study is a retrospective study carried out in the Department of Pathology, BLDE (Deemed to be) University, Shri B.M. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Vijayapura, Karnataka. All the skin biopsies received in histopathology section from October 2015 to September 2017 were reviewed from the archives of the department. Results: Out of 286 skin biopsies with histopathological diagnosis, majority of the cases were belonging to group Vgranulomatous lesions (154 cases), followed by group III (46 cases), group IV (27 cases) and group VI (27 cases), group VII (16 cases), group II (12 cases) and group VIII (4 cases). Conclusion: Dermatological lesions are heterogeneous with wide age distribution, clinical and histopathological spectrum. Histopathological examination of the skin biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis which can be supported with the other techniques to confirm the diagnosis.

“…in 2018 showed maximum number of cases in the age group of 51-60 years with female predominance in the respective group (52.4%). The study conducted by Grover et al16 in 2016 observed highest number of cases in the age group of 11-20 years with male predominance (68.0%). A study conducted by Narang et al12 in 2015 documented highest number of cases in the age group of 21-30 year, similar to our study.…”

Introduction: Skin biopsy probably is the most important ancillary aid to confirm clinical diagnosis. The interpretation of many skin biopsies requires the identification and integration of two different morphological features -the tissue reaction pattern and the pattern of inflammation. Aim: To correlate histopathological diagnosis with clinical diagnosis in various non neoplastic skin lesions. Materials and Methods: The present study was a prospective and observational type of study. A total number of 197 participants were included after satisfying the eligibility criteria with due permission from Department of Dermatology. Only those patients who had given valid informed consent were included in the study. Results: Out of 197 biopsies studied, histopathological diagnosis in 167 biopsies (84.8%) was consistent with clinical diagnosis, while in 30 biopsies (15.2%) histopathological diagnosis was not consistent with clinical diagnosis. Conclusion: Out of 197 cases (M=111, F=86) biopsies studied, histopathological diagnosis was consistent with clinical diagnosis in 167 biopsies (84.8%), while in 30 biopsies (15.2%) the histopathological diagnosis was not consistent with clinical diagnosis. The skin biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis which can be supported with other techniques to confirm the diagnosis. This emphasizes the significance of histopathology in diagnosing non neoplastic skin disorders.
