Abstract :
Idiopathic atrophoderma of Pasini–Pierini (IAPP) is an uncommon dermatologic condition of unknown etiology, characterized by asymptomatic,single or multiple sharply demarcated, round to oval, hyperpigmented, nonindurated depressed patches of varying sizes. The lesions may be discrete or confluent and do not show any signs of inflammation. Etiology of atrophoderma of Pasini–Pierini is poorly understood. The diagnosis is typically made by clinical findings; however, biopsy is commonly used to exclude other entities. In this study, we describe the clinical findings of three patients with IAPP. The histopathologic features of two patients were studied. This study also discusses whether the IAPP is an individual entity or associated with morphea.
