A 5‐year‐old Japanese girl had had localized, incomplete hair loss on the scalp, minimal distichia, and a small papillomatous eruption on the right upper eyelid since birth. The diagnosis of Goltz syndrome was made by histological findings such as upward extension of the subcutaneous tissue to the papillary dermis and marked diminution in the thickness of the dermis, although typical linear atrophy‐like eruptions and other mesoectodermal dysplasia were absent.
