Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini (also known as "Dyschromic and atrophic variation of scleroderma,"[1] "Morphea plana atrophica,"[1] "Sclérodermie atrophique d'emblée"[1]) is a disease characterized by large lesions with a sharp peripheral border dropping into a depression with no outpouching, which, on biopsy, elastin is normal, while collagen may be thickened.[2] Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini affects less than 200,000 Americans and is classified as a rare disease by http://rarediseases.info.nih.gov...") The disease results in round or oval patches of hyper-pigmented skin. The darkened skin patches may sometimes have a bluish or purplish hue when they first appear and are often smooth to the touch and hairless.
