Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Context: Lichen planus is a common inflammatory disorder,that commonly affects skin,nail,mucous membrane and hair. The morphology, distribution and colour of lichen planus is usually variable clinically. Aim: The aim of the study is to analyse varied clinical presentations and its histopathological correlation. Material and Methods: A retrospective study conducted in the department of pathology SMVMCH from May 2015 to 2017 june in a histopathologicaly diagnosed cases of Lichen planus which was, received in our department. Results: Lichen planus occurred in all age groups but commonly seen in middle age to elderly. Equal male and female distribution, majority (28.2%), of patients presented as hypopigmented papule, 79% had hypergranulosis in histology, commonly seen in the lower extremities and clinico- histolpathological correlation diagnostic accuracy was 41.1%. Conclusion: This study emphasize, the need for clinical examination, detailed history, and as lichen planus presents with various clinical manifestations. Histopathology serves as diagnostic tool and rules out other lesions which mimic lichen planus.
