What Are the Clinical Implications of Hypergranulosis?
Clinically, hypergranulosis is often associated with skin conditions that cause thickened, scaly, or itchy patches. In lichen planus, for example, hypergranulosis is part of the classic histological triad that includes a band-like infiltrate of lymphocytes and sawtooth appearance of the rete ridges. In psoriasis, although less common, hypergranulosis can appear as a response to topical treatments or as part of the healing process.
