Hutchinson

Hutchinson is a term used in the medical field, often associated with certain medical conditions and signs. The term is named after Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, an English surgeon and pathologist.

Hutchinson's sign

Hutchinson's sign is a clinical sign which may indicate an underlying condition such as herpes zoster or melanoma. In the context of herpes zoster, it refers to the presence of lesions on the tip of the nose, which may suggest the involvement of the eye. In the context of melanoma, it refers to the spread of pigment from a melanoma along the nail bed.

Hutchinson's triad

Hutchinson's triad is a set of three symptoms that are indicative of congenital syphilis. These symptoms include notched teeth (Hutchinson's teeth), interstitial keratitis, and deafness.

Hutchinson's freckle

Hutchinson's freckle, also known as lentigo maligna, is a type of skin lesion that is often a precursor to a specific type of skin cancer known as lentigo maligna melanoma.

Hutchinson's pupil

Hutchinson's pupil refers to a medical sign where one pupil is larger than the other, often due to pressure on the oculomotor nerve on the same side as the larger pupil. This can be a sign of a brain aneurysm or other serious neurological condition.

Hutchinson's disease

Hutchinson's disease, also known as sarcoidosis, is a disease involving abnormal collections of inflammatory cells that form lumps known as granulomas. The disease usually begins in the lungs, skin, or lymph nodes.
