Abstract

A newborn baby presented with overgrowth of lanugo hair and a precocious tooth. She was shaved infrequently until aged 9 months, when spontaneous loss of body hair began. Pyloric stenosis at 6 weeks was surgically corrected. There was a family history of hypertrichosis and dental anomalies.
