ABSTRACT
Hypertrichosis is a condition of excessive hair growing in areas of the body where androgen is not predominantly dependent. It has been classified into localized and generalized based on the extent of distribution. Generalized hypertrichosis may occur as part of a syndrome or a metabolic disorder. A 55-month-old girl visited our department with accentuation of thick hairs on her mid-back and face since birth. She was diagnosed as developmental retardation at the age of 10 months. None of her family members had hypertrichosis. No abnormal findings were shown on chromosomal and laboratory studies. Therefore, we diagnosed her as generalized hypertrichosis with developmental delay.
