In the early 1970s a novel method for hair restoration was described and gained a large following: hair implantation of artificial synthetic fibers. Though popular, the procedure faced numerous criticisms from the scientific community by the early 1980s, and several major and minor complications in a large number of patients treated were reported. However, there were no reports of any neoplasms as complications of artificial hair implantation. Thus, we report our experience with a novel case of long-term cutaneous neoplastic degeneration of an artificial hair implantation procedure in order to provide new insight on the complications related to this procedure.
