Hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita following cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Abstract
Hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita (HLA) refers to abnormal and excessive growth of fine downy hair. It is a rare condition which has been reported in association with both malignancy and certain drug therapy. We report three cases occurring after administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy for cancer. A possible relationship is discussed and previous literature reviewed.
