花斑癣（TV）是一种常见的皮肤真菌感染，其特征是浅表鳞屑和轻度皮肤色素沉着障碍。它通常影响胸部，上背部和肩部。然而，有报告称，累及身体的更多不寻常区域，如面部和头皮、手臂和腿部、摩擦部位、生殖器、乳晕、手掌和脚掌。本报告详细介绍了两个这样的情况下，观察到在我们的机构：一个32岁的妇女与参与的腘窝和一个16岁的男孩与参与的腹股沟。临床医生必须意识到这些位置的变化，并进行适当的诊断检查时，病变具有特征性形态的电视，尽管一个不寻常的位置。本文回顾了电视的病因、病理生理学和流行病学，并讨论了目前描述电视在不常见部位的其他病例的文献。
Tinea versicolor (TV) is a common cutaneous fungal infection characterized by superficial scaling and a mild disturbance of skin pigmentation. It typically affects the chest, upper back, and shoulders. However, involvement of more unusual regions of the body such as the face and scalp, arms and legs, intertriginous sites, genitalia, areolae, and palms and soles has been reported. This report details two such cases observed at our institution: a 32-year-old woman with involvement of the popliteal fossa and a 16-year-old boy with involvement of the groin. The clinician must be aware of these variations in location and perform the appropriate diagnostic workup when lesions have the characteristic morphology of TV despite an unusual location. The etiology, pathophysiology, and epidemiology of TV are reviewed and current literature describing other instances of TV in uncommon locations is discussed.
