Our Dermatol Online. 2013; 4(2): 247-250. Diseases which involve the oral cavity usually derive their names from either Greek or Latin. These terms are customarily based on etiology or description of the lesion [1]. However, there are many eponyms as well. Some of these names are misnomers. The misnomers encountered in oral pathology may arise from lack of understanding of underlying etiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, and/or concepts. Some misnomers are due to imprecise translations from word origins, etymological bungles, and/or factual errors [1]. In this manuscript, we are reviewing only, some selected examples of eponyms linked to the oral disorders (Tabl. I) [2-13]. Eponyms in the dermatology literature linked to oral disorders Behcet disease [2] Remarks It is characterized by relapsing oral aphthae, genital ulcers and iritis. This disease is named after Hulusi Behçet (1889–1948), (Fig. 1), the Turkish dermatologist and scientist who first recognized the syndrome. Figure 1. Hulusi Behçet (1889–1948) Table I.

Wilhelm Frederick von Ludwig (1790 – 1865) Eponyms in the dermatology literature linked to oral disorders Fordyce’s spots [3] Hutchinson teeth [4] Ludwig angina [5,6] Miescher’s cheilitis [7] Remarks The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland which may occur on the lips and other body sites. Named after an American dermatologist, John Addison Fordyce (1858- 1925), (Fig. 2). Hutchinson’s teeth are a sign of congenital syphilis. It is named after Sir Jonathan Hutchinson (1828-1913), (Fig. 3), an English surgeon and pathologist, who first described them. Wilhelm Frederick von Ludwig (1790-1865), (Fig. 4), a German physician first described in 1836 a potentially fatal, rapidly spreading soft tissue infection of the neck and floor of the mouth. The condition was later named „Ludwig’s angina”, a term which persists in medicine to this day. Miescher’s cheilitis is another less commonly used name for Granulomatous cheilitis. Miescher’s cheilitis is named for Alfred Guido Miescher (1887-1961), (Fig. 5), who was an Italian-born Swiss dermatologist. Granulomatous cheilitis or cheilitis granulomatosa is a monosymptomatic form of the Melkersson–Rosenthal syndrome (MRS). MRS is characterized by a triad of symptoms, typically with an onset in childhood or youth. It comprises recurrent facial paralysis (in 30% of cases), chronic edema of face and lips and fissured tongue (lingua plicata). MRS was described by Melkersson in 1928 and, Rosenthal in 1931 emphasized that lingua plicata (fissured tongue) is commonly related. However, there are several earlier descriptions of the condition-by Paul Hübschmann (1894), Lothar von Frankl-Hochwart (1891) and Grigorii Ivanovich Rossolimo (1901). Ernst Gustaf Melkersson (1898-1932) was born and educated in Sweden. Later, he worked at the medical department of the Gothenburg Sahlgrenska sjukhuset. Curt Rosenthal (1892-1937), was born in Germany and worked at the University of Breslau psychiatry and neurology clinic. The designation Melkersson’s syndrome was suggested to honor Melkersson, who had died so young, but the term Melkersson–Rosenthal syndrome has now been generally accepted. Table I.
