==History== Janeway lesions are named after [[Edward Gamaliel Janeway|Edward Janeway]] (1841β1911), a prominent American physician, pathologist and contemporary of Sir [[William Osler]], who initially described "peculiar skin lesions" in some people with endocarditis, in a paper published in 1899. The term was first used by [[internal medicine|internist]] and pathologist [[Emanuel Libman]], who reported the lesions in his paper of 1906 and explained his reasoning for using the term "Janeway lesions" in a footnote in 1923. Osler never mentioned Janeway lesions. The inclusion into Osler's 1925 textbook came six years after Osler died.<ref name=prutkin>{{cite journal|title=Edward G.
