Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Papillary Dermis

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...

Summary

Psoriasis is the most common skin condition diagnosed histopathologically in Bangladesh. This study reviewed 33 skin biopsies, finding psoriasis in over 39% of cases.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Histopathology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Skin biopsies are crucial for accurate diagnosis of dermatological conditions.
  • Understanding the prevalence of skin pathologies aids in clinical practice and resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of various skin lesions diagnosed histopathologically.
  • To identify the most common skin pathology in the studied population.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 33 skin biopsies submitted for histopathological diagnosis.
  • Biopsies were analyzed over a period of 1 year and 3 months at Bangladesh Institute of Health Science (BIHS) hospital, Dhaka.

Main Results:

  • Psoriasis was the most frequent diagnosis, accounting for 13 (39.39%) of the biopsies.

  • Other diagnosed conditions included chronic non-specific dermatitis (eczema) (12.12%), lichenoid lesions (12.12%), and ashy dermatosis (9.09%).
  • Less common diagnoses included Nevus (6.06%) and single cases of corn, hemangioma, prurigo simplex, pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP), and dermatofibroma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Psoriasis is the predominant skin pathology encountered in dermatological practice within this study cohort.
    • Histopathological examination of skin biopsies is essential for diagnosing diverse skin conditions.
