    Abstract:
    Hypertrichosis cubiti is a localized increase in hair density, length and thickness. It is an uncommon and benign entity with very few patients described in the medical literature (more or less than half a hundred). Half of the described patients associate other defects or malformations and the other half are purely aesthetic cases. Early pubarche in girls is defined as the onset of pubic hair before 8 years of age. We present a six-year-old patient with the association not previously described of hypertrichosis cubiti and precocious pubarche. La hipertricosis cubital es un aumento localizado de la densidad, longitud y espesor del vello. Es una entidad benigna con muy escasos pacientes descritos en la literatura médica (alrededor de medio centenar). La mitad de los casos descritos asocian otros defectos o malformaciones, y la otra mitad son problemas puramente estéticos. La pubarquia precoz en niñas se define como el inicio del vello púbico antes de los 8 años de edad. Se presenta a una paciente de 6 años con la asociación no descrita previamente de hipertricosis cubital y pubarquia precoz.
