By Ted Rosen, MD | May 11, 2012
Professor of Dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine; Chief of Dermatology at Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center


A 54-year-old woman, previously in excellent health, noted the insidious development of abundant, thin, and softly textured, nonpigmented hair on her ears and nose. A detailed review of systems was entirely negative, and both a complete blood count and automated routine biochemistry panel were normal. Gynecologic examination, including a pap smear, was normal one year prior to presentation. The patient was a lifelong nonsmoker and nondrinker. Family history was negative for cancer.

1. From what specific disorder does she suffer?
A. Hirsutism
B. Hypertrichosis
C. Hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita
D. Hypertrichosis lanuginosa congenita
E. Trichodystrophy
