Abstract
We report a Japanese patient with congenital hypomelanosis with a segm ental pattern on the left abdomen, whorl-like pattern on the back; mos aic pattern on the chest, right abdomen, and proximal extremities; and with yellow hair on a portion of the scalp. Chemical analysis of the yellow hair revealed decreased eumelanin content, whereas the pheomela nin content was normal.
