Histopathological spectrum of hyperpigmented skin lesions- A study in a tertiary hospital from western Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

Background: Hyperpigmented skin lesions are the cause of concern for general people and are commonest reason for dermatology consultation. An accurate histopathological diagnosis helps a dermatologist in appropriate management of such lesions
Materials and Methods: A retroprospective study of 100 cases of skin biopsies in hyperpigmented lesions was conducted from January 2020 to July 2021 at our institute. Inadequate skin biopsies, lesions of neoplastic or congenital etiology were excluded from the study. A clinico-histopathological correlation was also done.
