About Félix Balzer
- Félix Balzer (4 April 1849 – 15 March 1929) was a French physician, specialising in dermatology and pathology.Balzer gave an early description of pseudoxanthoma elasticum in 1884.
- He used the term "xanthome elastique" but subsequently it was found not to be a form of xanthomatosis.
- Balzer is also responsible for coining the term "adénomes sébacés" (adenoma sebaceum) to describe the papular facial rash of tuberous sclerosis.
- Again, this term proved to be incorrect since the papules were neither adenoma nor derived from sebaceous glands.Between 1880 and 1887, Balzer was a director of the histology laboratory in the Faculty of the hospital Saint Louis.
- He became a member of the Académie de Médecine in 1908.
- He was also president of la Société Française de Dermatologie.
