Background: Papulosquamous lesions of the skin are encountered with considerable frequency. There is overlap of both clinical pattern and distribution of papulosquamous skin disorders, which often makes clinical diagnosis difficult. However, some of the histopathological features are specific and characteristic for each entity. Hence, combination of proper clinical observation and histopathological study will give a conclusive diagnosis. Material & Methods: A cross sectional study was done in department of pathology in which after satisfying inclusion criteria all papulosquamous lesion patients irrespective of age & gender were included in study in defined period. A brief history and dermatological examination was carried out. Skin biopsies taken were fixed in 10% formalin and subjected for tissue processing. The processed tissue was embedded in paraffin to obtain five-micron thin sections. The sections were stained with routine hematoxylin and eosin stain, followed by microscopic examination. Result: Out of 61 patients of papulosquamous lesion most common diagnosis was Lichen planus, (57.37 %) followed by Psoriasis (32.78 %). Commonest age group reporting Lichen planus & Psoriasis was 21-40 yrs. Male preponderance was noted in all papulosquamous lesion patients. Histological features commonly seen were hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis in both Lichen planus & Psoriasis patients.

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a pruritic, erythematous scaly epidermal nevus which follows a Blaschko's lines. Lichen striatus, linear Darier disease, linear porokeratosis, linear lichen planus, linear psoriasis, and the verrucous stage of incontinentia pigmenti may all have similar clinical presentations as the linear verrucous epidermal nevus. ILVEN can be distinguished from true nevoid psoriasis by pruritus and lack of response to antipsoriatic treatments. Various therapeutic modalities have been described, but no one therapy has been successful consistently. Though giant ILVEN is a relative contraindication to surgical excision, here we report a case showing effectiveness of full thickness excision and skin grafting for this condition.

Twenty-three patients diagnosed with inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevi (ILVEN) over a 13 year period are reviewed retrospectively. These ILVEN showed a predilection for the buttock and legs and were usually unilateral. Onset of the lesions was usually within the first 6 months of life and extension beyond the original margins occurred in 26% of cases. Sixteen of the 23 patients were male. Ten patients had ILVEN predominantly involving the left side, 12 were on the right side and, in one case, the side involved was not recorded.
