Abstract:
Classical molluscum contagiosum can be easily diagnosed from clinical examination because of the characteristic cutaneous lesions of umbilicated papules. However, when it occurs as a single growth with atypical presentation, especially on an unusual site, this common disease may give rise to difficulty in diagnosis. Thus, at times histopathological examination is necessary for the proper diagnosis and treatment. We herein describe 5 patients with this solitary molluscum contagiosum, clinically mistaken but histopathologically proven.
