Histopathologic correlates of clinically verrucous lesions
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology and Oncology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Verrucous lesions present as cauliflower like slowly growing masses which may be single multiple or diffuse involving the broad areas of skin or mucosal surfaces Clinically these lesions are diagnostic challenges Histopathology remains the gold standard in diagnosing this diverse group of verrucous lesions The aim of this study was to understand the microscopy of clinically verrucous lesionsMaterial and Methods This is a retrospective data of clinically verrucous lesions over the past five years Clinical details were obtained from the archives and diagnosis was noted from the pathology records A total of 116 clinically verrucous lesions were includedResults Majority of the cases were Verruca vulgaris 37 cases followed by 33 cases of Seborrheic keratosis There were 12 cases of verrucous carcinoma seven cases of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis six cases of verrucous nevus and one case of verrucous hemangioma The other cases were of varied histology inspite of clinically verrucous appearance All the cases were diagnosed purely based on histopathology findings which show characteristic morphological features which help the pathologist in the correct diagnosisConclusions Histopathologic confirmation helps in alleviating the anxiety of the patients and helps us to arrive at a correct diagnosisKeywords Carcinoma Papillomatosis Seborrheic keratosis Verrucous Wart
