Abstract

The diagnosis of Kyrle's disease is based on both clinical and histological findings. The penetration of the keratin plug into the dermis is no pathognomonic feature but the result of pathologic events. Kyrle's disease may be caused and promoted by association with other diseases going along with hyperkeratosis and causing damage to tissue proteins by non-enzymatic glycosylation (e. g., diabetes mellitus and renal failure).
