A Clinicopathological study of Psoriasis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Papulosquamous group of skin lesions have certain common clinical presentations and lead to confusion in diagnosis. We undertook this study to analyze the histomorphological findings of psoriasis, the most common and important papulosquamous lesions of skin in detail, and to correlate the clinical findings with histomorphological features. Biopsy of clinically diagnosed/suspected cases of psoriasis lesions were performed in the department of dermatology and sent to the department of pathology in 10% formalin. The specimen obtained were subjected for tissue processing after fixation. Tissue sections are prepared from paraffin block and stained with haematoxylin and eosin, followed by microscopic examination. A total of 22 cases were studied. Lesions occurred in all age groups but were common in young and middle aged. Males were commonly affected. There is an overlap in morphology and distribution of these lesions leading to difficulty in diagnosis. Distinct histopathological features and clinical correlation gives a conclusive diagnosis. Specific histomorphological diagnosis is important to distinguish these lesions as the treatment and prognosis varies significantly from other lesions with similar clinical presentation.
