Piebaldism: rare but all dermatologists have heard this strange term during residency
- France was where a lot of the building of modern dermatology was made.
- Baron JL Alibert was of high importance in the development of education in dermatology.
- 3 times a week he conducted rounds in what was to become the first great dermatologic teaching centre: Hopital Saint-Louis.
- Reminiscent of the fundamental role of the hospital is the Musee des Moulages, where wax reproductions of skin conditions can be seen.
- Out of many descriptions, Alibert described mycosis fungoides (CTCL)
