A 46-year-old nulligravida complained of the recent development of an erythematous skin eruption and fine blond hair over her face. These complaints appeared to be symptoms of acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa, which may be associated with malignancy. The patient was found to have an endometrial adenocarcinoma with nodal metastases and was treated with hysterectomy and irradiation. Eighteen months later there was no evidence of the cancer, and the lanugo hairs had vanished. This is the first known instance of hypertrichosis lanuginosa associated with a gynecologic cancer and the first ever observed in which the lanugo hairs disappeared after cancer therapy.
