We report a 6-year-old girl with typical ­characteristics of ectopic cilia as described in the rare cases reported in the literature, in association with cutaneous lesions that appeared to be hypochromic nevi. This framework could be a different clinical presentation of ectopic cilia. Keywords: ectopic cilia, cutaneous lesions, hypochromic nevus
