Article Synopsis
  • Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini is a rare, benign skin condition characterized by single or multiple asymptomatic atrophic plaques, predominantly affecting women of European descent, usually appearing in their 20s or 30s.
  • Recent reports suggest a potential link between this condition and COVID-19, with a notable case of rapid progression post-infection observed in a 63-year-old female patient who was initially misdiagnosed with morphea.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on histopathological verification and clinical examination, as the condition often resembles morphea and may lead to treatment delays if not correctly identified.
