Émile Leredde

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Émile Leredde (1866-10-26 – 1926) was a French physician, specialising in dermatology.

In 1885, Leredde published with François Henri Hallopeau a report on the papular facial rash of tuberous sclerosis, then known as "adénomes sébacés" (adenoma sebaceum). The report also noticed the frequent association of epilepsy with the dermatological condition.
