Woolly hair nevus associated with sebaceous nevus and linear pigmentation

Abstract

The term woolly hair nevus was first described and coined in 1927 by Fred Wise. It is a nevoid condition characterized by a circumscribed patch of unruly and curled hair with an altered texture and may be associated with other nevoid conditions. This paper reports a case of a 7-year-old girl with woolly hair nevus overlying nevus sebaceous associated with linear pigmentation.
