Abstract
The superficial variant of morphea is a recently described entity that differs in its clinical and histologic presentation from classic morphea. The condition has been reported only in females to date and is characterized by minimal to no induration and hypopigmented or hyperpigmented patches without associated symptoms, systemic involvement, contractures, or atrophy. We present the unique clinical and histopathologic findings in a 77-year-old woman.
