Histomorphological Motif Of Skin Lesions – A Model Analysis In A Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Even though the skin disorders are common worldwide, the patterns of lesions differ depending upon various environmental and socioeconomic factors. In spite of lesions being diagnosed based on clinical features, histopathological evaluation plays a pivotal role in confirmation and management. Material and Method: This is a retrospective and prospective study conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Histopathological evaluation of skin lesions was carried out for three years correlating with old records and histopathology slides. Relative frequency of various lesions, distribution of age and sex were analysed. Results: A total of 234 cases were included with 140 (60%) males and 93 (40%) females. The commonest lesion found was epidermal cyst with second common being squamous cell carcinoma. Cutaneous cysts comprised of majority of non neoplastic lesions. A considerable number of skin adnexal tumors were also noted - 20 (8.5%) Conclusion: In present study benign skin lesions are commoner with male preponderance, attributing to the changing environmental conditions and more exposure. Histopathological examination plays a major role in analysis, classification and management of skin lesions. There is a definite need for a wide scale population studies to derive definite conclusions regarding skin lesions.
