Abstract
Many of the skin lesions are diagnosed clinically based on history and examination of the 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. Present study was aimed to study histopathological variants among non‐neoplastic skin lesions at a tertiary hospital. Present study was Prospective observational study, conducted in non‐neoplastic skin lesions biopsy received in the department of pathology. Majority of study subjects were from age group 30‐ 39 yrs. contributing 33 (27.5%) followed by 20‐29 yrs. Male contributed 70 cases (58.34%) and females 50 (41.66%). Most of the study subjects were having symptoms since 1‐6 months contributing 60 (50%) followed by 7‐ 12 months 35 (29.16%), >12 months 23 (19.17%) and < 1 month in 2 cases (1.66%) respectively. Non‐infectious papulosquamous diseases were the most common presentation in present study contributing 48 cases (40%) followed by infectious skin diseases 26 (21.66%), vesicobullous skin diseases 20 (16.67%), Eczematous diseases 11 (9.17%) and Pigment disorders and Degenerative disorders contributing 7 (5.83%) and 08 (6.66%). Most common non‐neoplastic skin disease among study subjects was Psoriasis contributing 29 cases (24.16%) followed by Lichen Planus 18 (15%) and Palmoplantar warts 10(8.33%) respectively. Proportion of noninfectious papulosquamous skin diseases was significantly higher in females as compared to males. A statistically significant association was seen between female gender and non‐infectious papulosquamous skin diseases like psoriasis and lichen planus.
