Discussion

Ill defined low T1, high T2 heterogeneous subcutaneous lesion with reticulation and retraction.

Morphea (mor-FEE-uh) is a rare skin condition that causes painless, discolored patches on your skin. Typically, the skin changes appear on the abdomen, chest or back. But they might also appear on your face, arms or legs. Morphea tends to affect only the outermost layers of your skin. But some forms of the condition also restrict movement in the joints. Morphea usually subsides on its own over time, though recurrences are common. In the meantime, medications and therapies are available to help treat the skin discoloration and other effects.
