ABSTRACT
Electron microscopic examination of specimens from lesions of eight patients with hyperpigmented and six patients with hypopigmented tinea versicolor and from unaffected skin in each patient was performed. The results are summarized as follows; 1. In hyperpigmented lesions, melanosomes are larger and more singly dispersed than in unaffected skin. 2. In hypopigmented lesions, melanosomes are smaller and less singly diepersed than in unaffected skin. 3. Number of total melanosomes in hyperpigmented and hypopigmented lesions was not different from in unaffected skin.
