ABSTRACT

Psoriasis is a chronic systemic disease that affects approximately 2% of the population, with cutaneous and articular manifestations of inflammatory characteristics that are usually present as erythematous plaques, well demarcated, mainly bilateral and symmetrical, located in extension areas. It is considered a multifactorial disease in which genetic and environmental components are involved. Although the disease has many specific and even pathognomonic features, there are no established diagnostic criteria for cutaneous psoriasis and there is no unified classification for clinical spectrum of the disease. Unlike other autoimmune diseases, histopathological examination and analysis of blood are generally not useful tools in the diagnosis of psoriasis. However, sometimes the dermatopathologyc assessment may be useful to confirm the diagnosis of psoriasis.
