This case report highlights the classic clinical presentation of Congenital Hypertrichosis Lanuginosa, a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder.
May aid recognition of rare hypertrichosis in toddlers; leaves open need for genetic studies and management data.
Congenital Hypertrichosis Lanugionsa is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder, with fewer than 50 cases reported in the literature. It is characterized by excessive lanugo hair, sparing only the mucous membranes, palms and soles. It may be associated with other organic abnormalities and should form part of the dermatologist's current knowledge. We discuss some aspects of the syndrome in question arising from the case report of a 2-year-old female patient, black, with classic clinical presentation, with no other associated congenital abnormalities.
