Incidental granular parakeratosis associated with molluscum contagiosum.
A patient presented with a 4-month history of slowly progressive pruritic papules on her trunk and extremities. Biopsies from 2 of these lesions revealed molluscum contagiosum. One of the biopsies also showed several small foci of granular parakeratosis. Based on the clinical features and course of this patient, the granular parakeratosis seems to be an incidental finding.
