The authors present dermatological signs in: a) rhythmic gymnastics athletes, b) male artistic gymnastics athletes, compared to a control group of fitness athletes. Athletes from the artistic gymnastics group were observed twice. The signs they showed on their first examination (20 days previous to the competition) were two circular zones of thickening of the skin with relation to the radial epiphysis. In all of them, two zones of frictional alopecia were present, one on the dorsal face of the forearms, slantwise outlined, the other on the wrists. A noticeable thickening of the skin was present on the palms of the hands. On a second examination, at the beginning of the training, after about two months of inactivity, the alopecic area was replaced by hypertrichosis, although featuring different patterns in each athlete. Thickening of the skin was slightly smaller than that observed at the first examination. The authors describe onychopathology shown in its different forms in 94 % of the athletes of the rhythmic group. Subsequently the authors discuss the pathogenesis of the above described signs.

“…A number of reports link hypertrichosis cubiti to short stature and/or developmental delay , but this so far has been reported only in cases which were thought to have a possible link to a syndrome . In the sporadic cases, endocrine and chromosomal studies have been normal and are not linked to mental or physical abnormalities. The excess hair often resolves by adolescence , except for one case that persisted into adulthood .…”

“…In the sporadic cases, endocrine and chromosomal studies have been normal and are not linked to mental or physical abnormalities. The excess hair often resolves by adolescence , except for one case that persisted into adulthood . It has also been suggested that this condition is far more prevalent but under‐reported, for instance in male children of dark‐haired races, and in some of these cases it may be considered part of the range of physiological difference, instead of a pathological problem .…”

Hypertrichosis cubiti, also named hairy elbows syndrome, is an uncommon variety of congenital, circumscribed hypertrichosis with a remarkable amount of long vellous hair localized on the extensor surfaces of the upper extremities. It may appear both as a familial or sporadic form. In most patients, it is not associated with any other physical anomalies, although short stature and other development disorders have been described. We report a case occurring sporadically in a 5-year-old girl without associated abnormalities, and with a negative family history.
