Exam Question: 2006 MB3• 19 year old female presented with recurrent

lesions since 6 years(Image-1). The lesions seems to flare up during winter months and responds partially to topical steroid ointment.

Page 9: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Exam Question: 2006 MB3• Describe the appearance of the lesion shown

in the image? [2] • Bilateral large Pinkish plaques covered with

white silvery scales.• What is the most likely diagnosis? [1]• Psoriasis• Briefly describe “Koebner Phenomenon” ?

[2]• “Koebner phenomenon” means the development

of isomorphic psoriatic lesions immediately subsequent to, and at the site of, a cutaneous injury;

• What is Auspitz sign what is its significance?[2]

• Removal of the scales results in small pinpoint bleeding because of increased vascularity under focal areas of epidermal thinning. This feature occurs only in psoriasis and is known as Auspitz’s sign.

Page 10: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Exam Question: 2006 MB31. Look at the Microscopy picture from her

lesion (Image-2). Identify any 4 histopathological features shown. [2]

• Hyperkeratosis• Parakeratosis• Regular elongation of the rete ridges• Diminished granular layer• Tortuous papillary dermal blood vessels• Inflammatory cells in the superficial

dermis.2. You are prescribing a medication for her,

what type of base would be suitable for her and why? [2]

• Water soluble Cream base with keratolytic agent such as urea, for hydration and good penetration as the lesion is dry & scaly.

Common Histopathological Terms:

Complex…!! but we will discuss common & important ones…

Page 36: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Hyperkeratosis• hyperplasia of the stratum corneum• Psoariasis, eczema.

Page 37: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

PARAKERATOSIS• Keratinization pattern characterized by

retention of nuclei in the stratum corneum (this is normal on mucous membranes)

Page 38: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

ACANTHOSIS• epidermal hyperplasia• Eczema, psoriasis

Page 39: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Acanthosis:•Psoriasiform (regular)

•Irregular

•Papillated

•Pseudoepitheliomatous

/pseudocarcinomatous

Page 40: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Acanthosis +hyperkeratosis:

Viral wart: Molluscum contagiosum

Page 41: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Papillomatosis• hyperplasia of the papillary dermis• Neoplastic-verrucous ca, venous stasis,

viral infections etc..

Page 42: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Dyskeratosis• Abnormal keratinization – carcinoma.

Page 43: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Acantholysis• loss of intercellular connections• Pemphigus

Page 44: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Spongiosis• Intercellular edema in the epidermis• Eczema, pempigus, seborrheic dermatitis.

Incidence of Skin Diseases:

• Common: nevi/moles, acne, infections (Fungal, Bacterial, viral), urticaria, eczema (wet/dry), actinic keratoses, psoriasis, carcinoma (BCC, SCC, MM)

• Uncommon: pemphigoid, pemphigus, scabies* Leprosy*

• Rare: xeroderma pigmentosum, dermatitis artefacta, mycosis fungoides (cancer-lymphoma).

Page 47: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Classification: (Morphologic).

Epidermis:• Epithelium: Psoriasis, pemphigus, Neoplasms.• Pigment disorders: hyper, hypo,

• Dermis:• Blood vessels - urticaria, contact dermatitis.

• Dermal connective tissue - systemic sclerosis

• Panniculus / Sub cut tissue: erythema nodosum,

• Neoplasms – fibroma, lipoma, sarcoma ..etc.• Ultimately both Epidermis & Dermis involved *

Page 48: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Classification (Pathologic):• Congenital: nevi

• Acquired:• Traumatic: chemical, physical

• Infections: Bacterial, fungal, Viral, etc.

• Immune: Urticaria, Eczema.

• Neoplastic: Nevi…carcinoma

• Idiopathic diseases : Psoriasis

• Malignant:• BCC, SCC, Melanoma.

Page 51: Pathology of Skin - Introduction

Study Tips:• Preparation:

• Read Lecture notes, attend lecture*.• Read Robbins Pathology (Basic).• Study Images Gross & Microscopic.

• Make short notes for each condition,• Etiology, Pathogenesis• List 3* clinical features.• List 3* gross features.• List 3* microscopic features.

• Self Assessment:• Case studies. (http://www.dermnetnz.org) • Questions & Answers.
