Tinea versicolor (TV) is a commonfungal skin disease caused by the Malasseziaspecies. This disease usually presents as hypopigmented- or hyperpigmented coalescing scalymacules, papules, patches or plaques on the trunk and upper arms.Herein, we report a rare clinical manifestation ofTV ina 29-year-oldman presenting with marked follicular, erythematous, and hyperkeratotic papuleson the trunk with erythematous scaly macules and patches on the upperextremities with intermittently spared skin. We initially suspected pityriasisrubra pilaris, however, skin biopsy results and mycological examinationrevealed TV. Polymerase chain reaction-based sequence analysis revealed Malassezia globosa. The patient wassuccessfully treated with oral itraconazole and topical terbinafine.
