Dermatology, and more specifically cutaneous oncology, has evolved from a descriptive science concept towards multifaceted medico-surgical medicine which is nowadays based not only on observation. In this view, the importance of prevention and early detection of skin cancers including cutaneous melanoma has been recognized and has created a new challenge. Thanks to this proactive approach, the improvement in the prognosis of newly diagnosed melanomas has been demonstrated, but many efforts have to be brought to reduce the incidence and the mortality of this potentially aggressive tumor.

Hair casts are small cylindrical structures, encircling individual scalp hairs but easily movable along the involved hair shafts. This hair disorder of unknown pathogenesis is only rarely mentioned in the dermatologic literature. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl, who has been treated during 2 years for pediculosis capitis. The literature about hair casts is reviewed.
