Pityriasis versicolor is a superficial fungal infection of the skin caused by Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum orbiculare) which is a part of the normal flora of the human skin. The factors which govern the pathogenic conversion of this fungus are not fully understood but a hot humid environment is considered to be a predisposing factor and the disease is very common in tropical countries. Clinically the disease is characterized by scaly hypo- or hyperpigmented macular lesions that are typically located in the trunk, neck and upper arms. The penis is rarely affected. In this report a patient of pityriasis versicolor with involvement of the shaft of the penis is presented.
花斑糠疹是一种由糠秕马拉色菌（圆形糠秕孢子菌）引起的皮肤浅表真菌感染，该菌是人体皮肤正常菌群的一部分。导致这种真菌致病性转化的因素尚未完全明确，但炎热潮湿的环境被认为是一个诱发因素，该病在热带国家非常常见。临床上，该病的特征是出现鳞屑性色素减退或色素沉着的斑疹病变，通常位于躯干、颈部和上臂。阴茎很少受累。在本报告中，介绍了一名阴茎体部受累的花斑糠疹患者。
