Abstract
Prevalence rate of psoriasis is 0.1‐3% worldwide. While it can begin at any age, psoriasis has 2 peaks of onset, the first at age 20‐30 years and the second at age 50‐60 years. Psoriasis has been reported to occur with almost equal frequency in males and females. Although the cause of psoriasis is unknown, there is evidence of a complex interaction between altered keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation, inflammation and immune dysregulation. The specimen obtained was subjected for tissue processing after fixation. Tissue sections was prepared from paraffin block and stained with haematoxylin and eosin followed by microscopic examination. Histochesmical special stains was used whenever necessary. Among 44 cases of histologically diagnosed psoriasis patients, most common clinical presentation was erythema 95.5% followed by papules in 93.2 percent of cases. Among 40 cases of histologically diagnosed lichen planus the most common clinical presentation was violaceous papules (95%) followed by pigmentation in 92.5 percent of cases.
