“…It is interesting that in body areas affected by pathological localized hypertrichosis – such as the ear and nose, and to a lesser extent, face and neck – mantle hairs occur in large numbers. The function of these pilosebaceous follicles is unknown [15]. It can be inferred from the morphology of a persistently dormant state, both of the follicular epithelium and sebaceous gland, that they serve a specific function, e.g.…”

Acquired localized hypertrichosis has rarely been reported. Here, we describe a patient with localized hypertrichosis of the pinnae that occurred 4 months after orchiectomy and chemotherapy for a testicular carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of an acquired hypertrichosis of the pinnae after cancer therapy. We propose that in our patient either hypogonadism or the hormonal imbalance caused by the cancer therapy led to the development of the hairy pinnae, perhaps alongside a genetic predisposition for hairy ears.

Multiple Mantelome bei Birt-Hogg-Dubé-Syndrom

2001

Birt-Hogg-Dubé-syndrome, first described 20 years ago, is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, characterized by the occurrence of multiple cutaneous hamartomas with adnexal differentiation. An association with intestinal neoplasms has been mentioned repeatedly. Recently, the cutaneous lesions in this syndrome have been interpreted as different developmental stages of one single hamartoma with sebaceous differentiation, called mantleoma. Numerous dermatohistopathologic studies contribute to the certain diagnosis of Birt-Hogg-Dubé-syndrome. In contrast, little information is available on the therapy of the multiple skin lesions. A father and his daughter with Birt-Hogg-Dubé-syndrome were treated with the CO2 laser, producing satisfactory results.
