ABSTRACT
Granulomatous inflammation is a common histological pattern encountered in skin biopsies which pose a diagnostic challenge to pathologists because of overlapping histological features produced by various aetiological agents. Pathologists come across the lesion frequently and through knowledge of Granulomatous lesions are very much essential to discriminate them from other lesions, in the skin as they closely mimic each other. Incidence and prevalence ofdifferent types of granulomatous dermatitis depend on geographical Location.AIMS AND OBJECTIVESTo know the types of different granulomatous dematoses, their prevalence and histopathological spectrum. MATERIAL AND METHOD A total of 1152 skin biopsies received from a period of January 2016 to October 2018 at Histopathology department of AMC MET Medical College, Ahmedabad. All specimens w e r e fixed in 10% formalin andprocessed by routine paraffin embedding technique. All specimens were stained with Hematoxylin and eosin stain & some special stains like 5% AFB and 20% AFB were used as required. Slides were examinedand histopathological diagnoses were given.
