Long before De la Peyronie's description of three cases of plastic induration and curvature of the penis (1743) the disorder was already known. The Ephemerides (1687) and the rather scabrous booklet, Venus minzieke gasthuis (Venus Hospital for the lovesick)(1688), contain short remarks on this condition. Two extensive Dutch contributions -- not mentioned in the literature on this subject -- were written by Nicolaas Tulp (1593--1674) and Fredrik Ruysch (1638--1731). The first one is a case history, the second one is more general discussion with a fine engraving added. Treatment varied according to the various early authors. The therapeutic successes claimed must be seen in the light of the natural history of this disease: spontaneous improvement occurs not infrequently. To change the eponym 'Peyronie's disease', however, seems unjustified. It is an homage to François Gigot de la Peyronie (1678-1747) surgeon to King Louis XV and founder of the French Académie de Chirurgie.
早在德拉佩罗尼描述三例阴茎硬结症和阴茎弯曲(1743年)之前,这种疾病就已经为人所知。《医学年鉴》(1687年)以及相当粗俗的小册子《维纳斯相思病医院》(1688年)都对这种病症有简短描述。两篇未被该领域文献提及的详尽荷兰文献分别由尼古拉斯·图普(1593 - 1674)和弗雷德里克·鲁伊斯(1638 - 1731)撰写。第一篇是病例记录,第二篇是更具普遍性的讨论,并配有一幅精美的版画。早期不同作者的治疗方法各异。所宣称的治疗成功案例必须结合这种疾病的自然病程来看:病情时常会自发改善。然而,更改“佩罗尼氏病”这个名称似乎并无道理。这是对路易十五的外科医生、法国外科学院创始人弗朗索瓦·吉戈·德拉佩罗尼(1678 - 1747)的致敬。
