    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Papulosquamous diseases are a diverse group of skin disorders.
    • Their causes are frequently unknown, and classification relies on descriptive morphology.
    • Key entities include psoriasis, lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, and seborrheic dermatitis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the nosology and differential diagnosis of papulosquamous diseases.
    • To highlight the characteristic clinical features of scaly papules and plaques.

    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive morphology of clinical lesions.
    • Review of major papulosquamous disease entities.
    • Consideration of differential diagnoses.

    Main Results:

    • Papulosquamous diseases are characterized by scaly papules and plaques.
    • Major conditions include psoriasis, parapsoriasis, lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, and seborrheic dermatitis.
    • Numerous other conditions can manifest with papulosquamous features.

    Conclusions:

    • The diagnosis of papulosquamous disorders is primarily based on clinical presentation.
    • A broad differential diagnosis is essential due to overlapping features and unknown etiologies.
    • Further research into the etiology of these common dermatological conditions is warranted.
