- Abstract
This article presents a case report of two sisters, similarly affected with atrichia, papular lesions and also with mental retardation. The patients were born with hair on the scalp, which was shed normally and was not replaced. Histologically, the papules resulted from cystic malformation of hair follicles. On the basis of medical examination and analysis, it is concluded that these cases represent a severe manifestation of the autosomal recessive gene mutation which causes atrichia with papular lesions.
