Overview
Historical Perspective
The condition was first discovered in 1952, and reported in the literature in 1953.[1] Watermelon disease was first diagnosed by Wheeler et al. in 1979, and definitively described in four living patients by Jabbari et al. only in 1984. As of 2011, the etiology and pathogenesis are still not known.[2] However, there are several competing hypotheses as to various etiologies.
