RESUMO
An Internet search has provided many examples of mnemonics. These are readily available, so we thought of composing new mnemonics that included information about the authors who first described the disease or are associated with the disease in question. We found this a pleasurable experience, because one of the authors (C.S.) either knew or knew of many of those who were responsible for the first writing of the diseases.

In this short historical review, we will discuss the origin and references to the giant cell that is sometimes histopathologically present in the dermis of lichen simplex chronicus that was first described by Hamilton Montgomery, MD. A photomicrograph of the giant cell was included by Montgomery in his text Dermatopathology published in 1967. We will then provide a short biography of Montgomery.
