hypertrichosis
/huy'peuhr tri koh"sis/, n.
excessive growth of hair.
[HYPER- + TRICHOSIS]

* * *

also called  Hirsutism,  

      excessive, abnormal hairiness that may be localized or cover the entire body. It is thought that hypertrichosis results either from persistence of the lanugo-vellus hairs covering the body of the fetus or from augmented development of hair follicles. Generalized hirsutism is a common side effect of hyperadrenal corticoidism (Cushing's disease) and has also been observed in hexachlorobenzene poisoning.
