The author found in this disease a strong keratinization of the epithelium, sharp hyaline degeneration of the subepithelial connective tissue and disturbances in the distribution of elastic fibers. The causes of these changes are not always clear. Ovarian dysfunction often plays a role here, and in severe cases, changes in thyroid and liver function were found.
