Question:

I need to know the official name of the disease called "Piks disease?

I met a lady today with "piks disease" obviously this is the abbreviated form of the name and I can not for the likes of me look it up with the short form and do not know the real name. It is a terminal illness with a life expectancy of 2-8 years.
