We report a Japanese patient with congenital hypomelanosis with a segmental pattern on the lett abdomen, whorl‐like pattern on the back; mosaic pattern on the chest, right abdomen, and proximal extremitiea; and with yellow hair on a portion of the scalp. Chemical analysis of the yallow hair revealed decreased eumetanin content, whereas the pheometanin content was normal.
