From clinic to microscope: A study of clinicopathological concordance in 5000 skin biopsies from a tertiary care center.

Of 5000 biopsies, 56.2% were from males, with peak incidence in the 35-40 age group.

The most biopsied sites were the lower limb (22%), with plaques being the most common lesion morphology (37.9%).

Papulosquamous disorders (24.7%) were the leading indication, particularly Lichenoid dermatitis (9.6%), followed by cutaneous infections (14.7%), mainly mycobacterial (9.2%).

Lichen planus (6.2%) and psoriasis (4.5%) were the most frequent histopathological diagnoses.
