A 23‐month‐old Caucasian girt had congenital circumscribed areas of deeply pigmented terminal hairs that gradually lost their pigment over the next two years. Physical examination revealed no other abnormalities. Histologlc examination demonstrated terminal hair in otherwise normal skin consistent with nevold hypertrichosis. The clinical and histologic characteristics of nevoid hypertrichosis are compared with other types of hypertrichotic patches.
