Öz

Pasini ve Pierini'nin idiopatik atrofoderması (PPİA) deriden hafif çökük, keskin sınırlı plak lezyonlarla karakterize nadir görülen bir dermal atrofi tipidir. Lezyonlar sıklıkla gövdede simetrik olarak yerleşim gösterir ve subjektif yakınmaya neden olmaz. PPİA'nın farklı bir antite mi yoksa morfeanın primer atrofik bir varyantı mı olduğu net değildir. On yedi yaşında erkek hasta gövde ön yüz ve sırt orta hatta yerleşim gösteren çok sayıda deriden hafif çökük kahverengi renkte lekeler şikayeti ile başvurdu. Klinik ve histopatolojik bulgularla hastaya PPİA tanısı kondu. Bu olgu sunumunda PPİA'nın klinik ve histopatolojik özellikleri vurgulanmakta, diğer atrofik dermatozlar ile ayrıt edici özellikleri tartışılmaktadır.
