BACKGROUND Skin biopsies play an important role in diagnosing and classifying different types of leprosy. The aim of this study was to analyse different histologic types of leprosy, to correlate histopathological diagnosis with clinical diagnosis, to study the uniformity of clinical and histological findings in the diagnosis of leprosy and to evaluate difficulties faced during clinicopathologic...

 Abstract Background: Enchondroma, is the most frequent bone tumor of the hand , but chondrosarcoma is rare at this location .There is a high possibility of correct diagnosis of enchondroma and differentiating from its malignant counterpart by precise clinical and radiologic assessment without biopsy, a subject of debate in the literature . At the present study we substantially investigate this...

Although the majority of melanomas can be distinguished from benign nevi on the basis of histologic criteria, a significant subset of melanocytic proliferations present conflicting features that preclude a definitive diagnosis for even the most expert pathologists. An unacceptably high number of lesions cannot be precisely and reproducibly classified as either entirely benign or malignant by ro...
