Abstract

Psoriasis has different clinical variants that mimic diverse dermatological conditions. Often these cases remain a diagnostic dilemma for the clinician and warrant a histopathological confirmation. The present study was designed to determine the aspects of psoriasis in our casuistry and to identify the clinical-pathological concordance for these cases.
