Excerpt from The Journal of Cutaneous Diseases, Including Syphilis, Vol. 26: October, 1908

The pathologic clinical name lymphangioma tuberosum multi plex, which Kaposi has given to this affection, has proven to be ill chosen, and inappropriate, and is worthy of adoption merely on the grounds of priority, and common usage. The pathology of this fairly constant clinical type of affection has been found to be exceed ingly varied, and so closely akin at times to types of affection, so totally dissimilar and different in their physical and clinical charac ters, that a generic term of histologic import seems to be unger mane. Its pathology has been found to be identical at times with that already rather large class of cases which have been variously designated, under the names of multiple benign cystic epithelioma, etc., and with that very large and commonly encountered group, characterized by usually only one or two small glistening, pearly white, depressed, button-like, isolated lesions of the face, with milia like borders, as described by Hartzell.
