To study the spectrum and have a clinicopathological correlation of papulosquamous skin lesions. Material and Methods: A series of noninfectious papulosquamous skin lesions coming to Department of Dermatology were studied over a period of one year, i.e. from June 2017 to July 2018. These were correlated and analysed with the histopathological findings. Results: The present study comprised of 70 cases of skin diseases presenting as papulosquamous lesions. Majority of cases were in the age group of 31 to 40 years (16 cases, 22.8%) followed by 11 to 20 years (15 cases, 21.4%). Females were more commonly affected with 37 cases(52.8%) compared to males with 33cases (47.1%) and female to male ratio of incidence being 1:0.89. In the present study, out of 70 cases, 34 cases (48.5%) were diagnosed as psoriasis, Lichen planus-15 cases(21.4%), Chronic Dermatitis-4 cases (5.71%), Lichen striatus-3 cases (4.28%), Pityriasis Lichenoides-2 cases(2.85%), Pityriasis Rosea-2 cases (2.85%), Prurigo Simplex-2 cases(2.8%), Prurigo Nodularis and Lichen Nitidus 1 case each, 1 case each of atopic eczema, contact dermatitis and chronic actinic dermatitis and inconclusive cases being 3. The histopathological findings of psoriasis and lichen planus were studied with special emphasis. The predominant histopathological finding in psoriasis is acanthosis and the predominant histopathological finding in lichen planus was band like infiltrate in the dermoepidermal junction. These findings in addition to other specific findings and clinical correlation were used to give a conclusive diagnosis. There were 4 cases of psoriasis, 2 cases of lichen planus, 2 cases of 1 case of, 1 case of which did not correlate with histopathological findings. Conclusions: In our study females were mostly affected. The age group mainly affected was 31-40 years. Psoriasis was the commonest papulosquamous lesion. Good clinicopathological correlation is very much necessary for diagnosis.

“…Clinical with histomorphological correlation and a definitive histopathological diagnosis are essential as treatment and prognosis varies. [6][7][8] As it is crucial to identify and classify these lesions, the present study was undertaken to study the age, sex distribution and histopathological spectrum of non-infectious, and papulosquamous skin diseases with clinicohistopathological correlation.…”

Background: Papulosquamous diseases are characterized by scaly papules and plaques with similar clinical picture which leads to diagnostic confusion. A definitive histopathological diagnosis is required for effective treatment of such diseases. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the clinicohistopathological correlation of different non-infectious papulosquamous skin lesions. Materials and Methods: Skin punch biopsy specimens from 100 clinically diagnosed/suspected non-infectious papulosquamous skin diseases were received in the Department of Pathology at a tertiary care hospital. The specimens obtained were subjected to formalin fixation and paraffin embedding, stained with hematoxylin and eosin and studied. Results: A total of 100 cases were studied. The most common lesion was psoriasis (42) followed by lichen planus (40). Maximum numbers of cases were seen in the age group of 31–60 years (61%). Males (54%) were commonly affected. Positive clinicopathological correlation was observed in 85% cases. Conclusion: Contribution of histopathology is definitely significant in overcoming clinical diagnostic dilemma in certain papulosquamous disorders.
