Keizō Dohi (土肥 慶蔵, Dohi Keizō) (1866-1931) was a Japanese professor of dermatology and syphilis, and chair of the department of dermatology and syphilis at the University of Tokyo.[1]

Career

He trained at the Vienna School of Dermatology, and published his first article in 1896 the Archiv für Dermatologie und Syphilis in German.[2]

Dohi learned the technique of moulage (wax modeling) in Vienna and introduced its practice to Japan.[3][a]

Death and legacy

Dohi is named for Keratosis follicularis squamosa Dohi, is a type of follicular keratosis, in which scales appear elevated from the skin surface reminding one of the floating leaves of the lotus.[4][5] He died in 1931.[1]

Notes

  1. ^ This technique had greatly contributed to medical education, however, the use of color film in recording skin manifestations made moulage obsolete.
