    TLDR Hair casts, also called pseudonits, are often mistaken for other conditions.
    The document reports a case of hair casts, also known as pseudonits, in a 9-year-old girl. Hair casts are described as thin, elongated, cylindrical concretions that can be found encircling the hair shaft and are easily dislodged. The report suggests that while the occurrence of pseudonits is not unusual, they are often incorrectly diagnosed. The summary does not provide specific details on the number of cases studied or the methods used for diagnosis, but it emphasizes the commonality of misdiagnosis in such cases.
