[Hyperkeratosis of the keratotic plug type in patients with chronic renal failure and metabolic diseases].

Abstract

We have noticed in eight male patients transepithelial keratotic plugs which appeared preferentially on zones of supporting points. These plugs evoked in a more or less accurate way, Kyrle's disease or other related syndromes, particularly reactive perforating collagenosis and perforating folliculitis. Seven cases were associated with chronic and severe renal failure complicating a serious diabetes in four cases, one of them with a viral hepatitis. One case has been observed during an important denutrition with digestive disorders.
