ABSTRACT
Hypertrichosis cubiti, also named hairy elbows syndrome, circumscribed hypertrichosis in which a remarkable amount of long vellus hair is localized on the extensor surfaces of the upper extremities. We report a case of hairy elbows syndrome in a 12-year-old female patient, who was treated for short stature in pediatrics. She was referred to our department because of hypertrichosis of both elbows. Her height is 131cm, it is below 3 percentile of that of age. We could not find any physical abnormalities and other developmental disorders except short stature. But, Her intelligence is somewhat delayed comparative to that of age. She denied her family history about that. The literature on this subject is reviewed, and some clinical and etiopathogenic aspects are discussed.
