	Introduction: Non-neoplastic skin disorders encompass a wide spectrum of pathological processes which show age, sex and geographical variation in distribution. Histopathological examination continues to play an invaluable role in diagnosis and management of nonneoplastic skin disorders. The present study aims to analyse the histomorphological spectrum of non-neoplastic skin lesions received in a tertiary care hospital, to study their age and sex distribution and to classify the lesions into categories that predict clinically important attributes. Material and Methods: The current study is an observational retrospective study conducted in Department of Pathology in a Tertiary Care Hospital in South Gujrat. 205 skin specimen of nonneoplastic skin lesions received over a period of one year (February 2019 to January 2020) were studied. Results: Among 205 cases of non-neoplastic skin lesions, male predominance was seen. 21-30 years and 31-40 years were the most common age group. Infectious disorders were the most common category (73 cases) followed by non-neoplastic cutane ous cysts (72 cases). The epidermoid cyst was the common skin lesion closely followed by Leprosy. Borderline Tuberculous was the most frequent subtype of leprosy. Leprosy was most common in 21-30 years age group. Most common vesicobullous disease was Spongiotic Dermatitis followed by Pemphigus Vulgaris. Psoriaform and lichenoid dermatitis showed equal incidence. Conclusion: Heterogeneity in the clinical presentation of skin diseases makes histopathological examination a gold standard technique for final diagnosis. Cutaneous cysts and infectious formed the bulk of cases. Leprosy was the most common non cystic non neoplastic skin lesion of our study.&#13;
