In somatic and psychiatric examination of 38 patients with masked depression under variable somatic masks the authors have revealed clear-cut symptoms of depressions and a high rate of somatic pathology. They believe that peripheral somatic disorders determine to a certain degree both nature and projection of the somatic mask. The questions of masked depressions are discussed.
