<upd_detl>We have an entry for coprolalia.  It is 汚言症, and it is correct.

Search "汚言症", lots of results. Lots on twitter.

Search "醜語症", a handful of medical 和英辞典 entries. Effectively nothing on twitter(a few people found this dictionary entry in 2013 and decided to share for whatever reason).

If you do a google book search instead, you'll find, a couple results with this term in medical texts pre-1910.  There is a book on katakana terms that is more recent and has it(no doubt copied from somewhere else, just has we have).

Basically, even if you can find this in a super-old Japanese text somewhere, I don't think it ever became a word of any importance at all.  We could mark it [rare] and xref.  But jmdictdb makes no effort to include every obscure medical term, and this one is both obscure and wildly obsolete(if it was ever actually used outside of one or two attempted calques from English back-in-the-day).  On balance, I think the world would be better off without the entry.</upd_detl>

I think one dictionary got this wrong(or copied a very old reference), and everyone copied.
