Abstract: There are many different eponyms in common use in dermatology today, originating
from a variety of countries worldwide. This review discusses a selection of dermatological
eponyms that are linked to Japan.
Keywords: eponymous diseases, skin diseases, Japanese, historical context
IntroductionIn medicine, eponyms are disease processes, anatomical structures, clinical findings,
and so forth that are named after their discoverer or the person in whom the disease
was first described. The dermatology literature is rich with eponyms,1 with the origins
and histories of these eponyms covering many different countries. This article provides
an overview of eponymous medical conditions that present as skin changes and have
names that are in some way linked to Japan (Table 1).2–22
DiscussionThe East Asian island nation of Japan is a major economic power and a leading nation
in scientific research. Japan’s population is estimated at around 127.3 million, and
it has the highest life expectancy rate in the world.23 Japan also has a deep-rooted
history of dermatology. Dr Keizou Dohi, a professor at Tokyo Imperial University,
established the Japanese Dermatological Association in December 1900. The associa-
tion’s first annual meeting was held in April 1901, and in that same year the Journal
of Dermatology and Urology, now known as the Japanese Journal of Dermatology,
was first issued.24
Japan has made many excellent contributions in science, including, in particular,
the first recorded description of several skin diseases.25 However, many of these
diseases have not been named after their discoverer or the person in whom the
disease was first described. For example, erythema nodosum leprosum was first
described by Mosuke Murata,26 erythromelanosis follicularis faciei was first
reported by Kitamura,20 and shiitake dermatitis (a skin condition caused by eating
raw or only slightly cooked shiitake mushrooms) was first reported by Takehiko
Nakamura.27 Although the use of eponyms in medicine has both its advantages and
its disadvantages, in this review the authors wish to draw attention to the fact that
eponyms that originate from a given place do not always reflect the contributions
of its scientists.
