The sign was named for George Higoumenakis, who first described it in 1927 in the Greek periodical Proceedings of the Medical Society of Athens (Πρακτικά Ιατρικής Εταιρείας Αθηνών).[3] He subsequently published the description of the sign in a German article, making it more known among dermatologists.[4]
