SOLITARY GIANT MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM OF THE SOLE

Molluscum contagiosum of the sole is extremely rare and only three cas es have been reported in the literature. We report a solitary giant mo lluscum contagiosum on the left sole of a 5-year-old boy, which should be clinically differentiated from plantar wart, eccrine poroma, epide rmal cyst, foreign body granuloma, cryptococcal infection, and pyogeni c granuloma.
