This case report described a six-year-old boy with congenital generalized hypertrichosis terminalis, a rare condition characterized by excessive growth of pigmented terminal hair, gingival hyperplasia, and a coarse face. The boy, born to non-consanguineous parents, also had congenital hydronephrosis and a heterozygous deletion on chromosome 17q12.
