Describer

[edit]

Asrticle as a stub lacks all refs for now. Looking at WhoNamedIt http://www.whonamedit.com/synd.cfm/1042.html states "Toyama's syndrome, or pityriasis circinata, is entered as a separate entity under T. Toyama, Japanese physician" and that syndromes entry describes condition as "A skin disease characterized by well-defined, brown, scaly, perfectly circular patches of various diameters. It may be a form of acquired ichtyosis."

Quick search on PubMed gives just 7 hits - all ascribing to Toyama (eg see PMID 13759456) - but none giving even an abstract taster :-( David Ruben Talk 00:13, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
