[Woolly hair nevus associated with an ipsilateral linear epidermal nevus].
We report a 4-year-old boy with two areas of woolly hair in the right parietotemporal region and a linear epidermal nevus in the areas of woolly hair as well as in the ipsilateral hemiface and chin. Evaluation by scanning electron microscopy showed woolly hair with oval transverse section and longitudinal groove. A complete examination ruled out associated anomalies.
