Familial cervical hypertrichosis with underlying kyphoscoliosis.
A family with congenital localized hypertrichosis transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern is presented. The excessive hair growth was localized to the cervical region and was associated with underlying kyphoscoliosis. No additional cutaneous or skeletal abnormalities were identified. To our knowledge these are the first cases of familial congenital cervical hypertrichosis associated with underlying kyphoscoliosis reported in the literature.
