How Do Histological Findings Correlate with Clinical Presentation?
Histological findings often correlate with the clinical presentation of dermatological conditions. For instance, the presence of hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis in a biopsy correlates with the scaly plaques seen in psoriasis. Similarly, spongiosis and lymphocytic infiltrate in histology are consistent with the erythema and itching seen in atopic dermatitis. Accurate correlation between clinical and histological findings is crucial for a definitive diagnosis and effective treatment.
