MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM IN A SOFT FIBROMA - A PARTICULAR COMBINED LESION

A case of a single molluscum contagiosum occurring on the surface of a preexisting soft fibroma in an adult patient is reported. The most co mmon clinical form of this viral lesion is multiple grouping papules w ith a central umbilication and its histologic feature is characteristi c. Previous cases of mollusca combining with other lesions have been r arely described. Our lesion was probably due to its localization on th e soft fibroma, whose exophytic growing represented a favoring factor for trauma and the consequent occurrence of the viral disease.
