at·ro·pho·der·ma of Pa·si·ni and Pi·er·i·ni

(pah-sē'nē, pēr-ē'ne), a form of slate-colored atrophy of the skin occurring in discrete, 2-cm or larger lesions, either singly or multiply, and occasionally confluent, increasing in number and size over a period of years and then remaining constant; thought by some to be of two types: one preceded by morphea, and the other appearing with no preceding identifiable pathology.
