Histology of pityriasis versicolor
The low power view of pityriasis versicolor is suggestive of a mild superficial perivascular inflammation pattern (Figure 1). The epidermis may show mild hyperkeratosis and acanthosis (Figure 2). Elongation of the rete ridges and mild increased basal layer pigmentation as seen in acanthosis nigricans can sometimes be observed.
