Abstract
Pili multigemini is an uncommon hair follicle disorder, where multiple hair shafts emerge from the same follicular opening. While it is commonly observed in men's facial hair, it has also been reported, albeit infrequently, in other areas of the body. Here we describe an unusual case of congenital pili multigemini presenting on the eyebrow of a female infant.
