Nevoid hypertrichosis

Nevoid hypertrichosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by the growth of terminal hairs in a circumscribed area.

Nevoid hypertrichosis is a rare disorder characterized by a confined patch of coarse terminal hair.

[4] The lesion is known to stay stable, and the child's growth is directly correlated with any size rise.

[4] Whether nevoid hypertrichosis is a genetically determined condition or a deformity of unknown etiology remains unclear.

[6] In giant nevoid hypertrichosis, an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has been suggested.
