“…Focal hypertrichosis of the genital area without signs of precocious puberty has been published by BallmerWeber et al [1996]. Two patients with hair anomalies have been seen by Lestringant et al [1997]. A 3-yearold girl with achromic patches and streaks, minor anomalies, neurological abnormalities, and hip dislocation also expressed an extensive hypertrichosis of the back, the face, the external parts of the arms, the genital area, the buttocks, and the lower limbs, which masked the underlying hypopigmented pattern.…”

Hypomelanosis of Ito is a neurocutaneous phenotype comprising pigmentary anomalies, neurological defects, structural malformations, and chromosomal abnormalities. It has been described as a distinct multisystem birth defect or, more specifically, as a neurocutaneous syndrome. The main purpose of this study is to provide evidence that this disorder does not exist as a syndrome. Rather, it is a causally nonspecific pigmentary disorder caused by genetic mosaicism.

“…There have been a few reported instances of nevoid hypertrichosis following a linear distribution, some of which followed Blaschko lines (4–7). It was impossible to tell whether the hypertrichosis described in our patient followed Blaschko lines, although one can make an argument that it is blascholinear.…”

“…It was impossible to tell whether the hypertrichosis described in our patient followed Blaschko lines, although one can make an argument that it is blascholinear. However, the linear presentations described in the literature were associated with either hypopigmentation of the underlying skin or lesional hair (4,6) or other extracutaneous manifestations (5–7). Table 1 summarizes the findings associated with previously described linear nevoid hypertrichosis.…”

An 8-year-old Caucasian girl presented with a linear patch of excessive hair growth involving her left posterolateral leg without any underlying hypopigmentation or associated abnormalities. This is an unusual presentation given that the literature describing nevoid hypertrichosis in a linear distribution is associated with either underlying skin or hair hypopigmentation or other extracutaneous manifestations.

“…Smooth muscle hamartoma, Becker nevus, and melanocytic nevi which can be presented as focal hypertrichosis should be differentiated and all of them are benign. Ten cases have been reported and some of them were related to accompanying abnormalities (Table 1) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . It was significant that this case showed concurrent congenital atrial septal defect which was not reported in previous report in addition to cutaneous manifestation and skeletal abnormality [1][2][3][4]11 .…”
