AbstractA 62-year-old woman with acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa as a paraneoplastic presenting sign of an extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma is described. Despite initial comprehensive screening to rule out an associated malignancy, a definitive diagnosis of sarcoma was established only 1 year after the onset of the cutaneous symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita associated with a soft tissue sarcoma. Our observation expands the spectrum of malignancies associated with this uncommon paraneoplastic disorder.
