Abstract

To study the correlation of clinical, histopathological and dermoscopic features of clinically suspected AD patients. A total of 50 clinically suspected AD patients were recruited in this study. A detailed history, cutaneous examination and dermoscopic patterns were documented. A punch biopsy was taken from the site where dermoscopy was performed, stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H and E) and examined under light microscope. Out of 50 patients, 41 were females and 9 were males with male to female ratio being 1:4.5. The age ranged between 20‐52 years with mean age of 40.54 years. Majority of the lesions were ill‐defined, diffuse, brownish macules most commonly involving upper limbs. On dermoscopy, majority revealed brown dots and brown globules separated by white septae in a random distribution with brown background, irregular linear vessels and focal fine scaling. Histopathology revealed basal cell vacuolar degeneration, dermal lymphocytic infiltration and pigmentary incontinence. The association of dermoscopic and histopathological features in clinically suspected AD patients was 100% and was statistically significant (p<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of dermoscopy against histopathology was 100%.
