Foreword

I feel privileged to write this foreword for the book titled “Morphea and Related Disorders”, edited by Dr. Tasleem Arif unquestionably one of my most exceptionally brilliant students. Dr. Tasleem did his postgraduation in dermatology under my supervision as the head of the Postgraduate Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy at Government Medical College Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. Throughout his post-graduation, Dr. Tasleem manifested a profound interest in Morphea and related disorders, leading him to select these disorders as the focal point of his thesis.

This remarkably comprehensive book efficaciously addresses the missing gaps in our understanding of the range of these disorders.

Focus on the classification of Morphea, a comprehensive account of topics like linear atrophoderma of Moulin, Idiopathic Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini, Parry-Romberg syndrome, and Extragenital Lichen sclerosus makes it interesting for the readers thereby transforming it into an invaluable resource book for dermatologists as well as rheumatologists

I congratulate Dr. Tasleem for coming forth with a book on a spectrum of disorders that are still an enigma for the practicing dermatologist.
