Implication

Retrospective review of 5000 skin biopsies shows 86% concordance in dermatological diagnoses, highlighting the need for careful evaluation.

Key Points

This study aims to determine the spectrum of skin diseases requiring biopsy and the level of concordance between clinical and histopathological findings.
Retrospective review of 5000 skin biopsy records over 2 years at a tertiary care center.
Data collected included demographics, biopsy sites, lesion morphology, clinical indications, and histopathological diagnoses.
Chi-square test was applied to assess concordance between clinical and histopathological findings.
Overall clinicopathological concordance rate was 86%.
Full concordance was observed in 50.6% and partial concordance in 35.4% of cases.
Variability in concordance rates was noted across different disease categories.
