Abstract:
We report a case of molluscum contagiosum occurring in an epidermal cyst. A-38-year old male patient had the lision which was a 1.2 x 1cm sized, elevated, round nodule on the right cheek. Histology showed true epidermal cyst containing molluscum bodies throughout the cyst wall and laminated keratotic material within the cyst itself.
