An interesting coexistence of multifocal hypertrichosis and hirsutism in hypomelanosis of ito

Abstract

Hypomelanosis of Ito (HOI) is a sporadic disorder characterized by naevoid hypomelanosis in association with neurological, musculoskeletal, and other systemic defects. Localized hypertrichosis has been reported in HOI, however, multifocal hypertrichosis along with hirsutism in HOI are rare. We report an interesting coexistence of multifocal hypertrichosis and hirsutism in a 7-year-old girl with HOI.
