“…In this study, skin lesions were found to occur in all age groups, but the highest incidence was seen in the age group of 21 to 30 years (18.6%), which is in concordance with the observations of previous researchers. 6,8,9 However, a cross-sectional study on skin diseases by a study noted that the most common age group involved was 11 to 20 years with 164 (31.4%) cases. 10 This observation might be due to the crosssectional nature of the study and geographical domicile.…”

“…This finding was coincident with the findings of other studies which also observed lichen planus as the most common papulosquamous lesion. 6,9 However, few studies have highlighted psoriasis as the most common lesion, followed by lichen planus. 8,15 Among cutaneous vasculitis, the majority of the cases were leucocytoclastic vasculitis which correlated well with the observations of a similar study.…”

This study aims at evaluating the histopathological spectrum of skin lesions and to analyze the clinicopathological correlation in various categories of skin lesions. Material and MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pathology with clearance from the Institutional Ethics Committee during a time period of 10 years from January 2008 to April 2018. During this period, 800 skin biopsies received from the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology were studied and analyzed. The identities of patients were double-blinded to avoid bias. The blocks/slides were alphabetically coded and

“…8 Accurate diagnosis is of atmost importance as the treatment differs for different type of granulomatous lesion. 9,10 But for instance, only few statistical studies have been carried out in southern India elaborating the diseases which requires histopathological examination to confirm the clinical diagnosis. 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.…”

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.

Skin being the largest organ of the body, is subjected to constant environmental insults through direct and indirect targets. Non-neoplastic lesions of skin comprise a vast array of diseases, which are usually approached by pattern based method in histopathology for microscopic diagnosis. This study was undertaken with an intention to learn such diseases by a simple minimally invasive punch biopsy procedure. A 2 year retro-prospective study of 82 punch biopsies which were documented as non-neoplastic lesions of skin were studied with respect to their demographical and histopathological profile. Simple descriptive statistics was applied in Microsoft Excel software. Out of the 82 cases studied, 46(56%) were males and 36(44%) were females. Maximum number of cases (n=23) were seen in 21-30 years of age. Most prominent site of lesions biopsied were from lower limb (23 cases) with legs being the commonest among them. Cutaneous infections (n=25) was the most common clinical category, with Mycobacterial lesions as the prominent subcategory (n=16). Granulomatous reaction constituted the most common major tissue reaction pattern among other patterns with a total number of 17 cases out of 82. Panniculitis was the most common minor reaction pattern observed. The pattern based approach in routine histopathological analysis proves a valuable descriptive tool for reaching an accurate diagnosis in cutaneous non-neoplastic lesions.
