Our own clinical pathologic findings bear out his conclusions, which he has summarized as follows: “1. Complete loss of appendages of the epidermis. “2. Replacement of the normal collagen (connective tissue constituent) by a peculiar dense hyaline collagen rich in elastic fibers and poor in cells. “3. Obliterative processes in blood vessels of the corium and subcutaneous tissues. “4. Necroses of varying sizes in the corium immediately beneath the epidermis. In the earlier stages these are usually in the region of thrombosed telangiectasis. In the later stages telangiectasis may be nearly entirely absent. “5. In response to necroses of the corium, reparative proliferation on the part of the epidermis,” which may extend beneath the telangiectasis or areas of necrosis. “These small necroses containing the thrombosed telangiectases become completely separated from the ski...
