"Moynahan Syndrome" is a misnomer. The "New Syndrome" as identified by the symptoms of patient "LW" described by Dr. EJ Moynahan FRCP (Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians) in Proc R Soc Med. 1962 November; 55(11): 959–960: Multiple Symmetrical Moles, with Psychic and Somatic Infantilism and Genital Hypoplasia: First Male Case of a New Syndrome, was never defined as "Moynahan Syndrome" nor was it ever referenced as such. Ref here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1896920/. References from whonamedit.com and Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: clinical Dermatology to this article, mimic the same symptoms identified by the Proc R Soc Med. 1962 November; 55(11): 959–960 journal publication but also inaccurately reflect this as "Moynahan Syndrome". 70.196.193.31 (talk) 22:20, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
