[Molluscum contagiosum. Clinicopathologic and ultrastructural study].
26 usually multiple Molluscum contagiosum (MC) lesions corresponding to 14 patients (x age, 12 years old) mainly located in face and body, and unfrequently in genital area, were studied. Under light microscopy, we emphasize the presence of molluscum bodies corresponding ultrastructurally to large bodies of viral particles within a protein matrix. Intranuclear inclusions of suspected viral origin were noted too. Lesions previously embedded in paraffin showed a perfect preservation of their viral particles.
