    TLDR Naevoid bundle hair is an unusual hair growth pattern where multiple hairs fuse together.
    The document reported on two cases of naevoid bundle hair on the scalp, characterized by an abnormal grouping of hairs emerging from a single follicle ostium. Although the hairs originated from separate follicles, they fused into a common outer hair root sheath above the sebaceous gland. This sheath showed abnormal reactivity with monoclonal antibodies against keratin but normal reactivity with anti-filaggrin. Naevoid bundle hair was considered an atavistic hair growth pattern.
