title: Atypical molluscum contagiosum accompanied by CD30-positive lymphoid infiltrates.
abstract: Atypical presentations of molluscum contagiosum require histophathologic examination and may show pleomorphic lymphocytic infiltrates of a reactive nature, mimicking cutaneous lymphoproliferative diseases. Serial sections of specimens or polymerase chain reactions to show T-cell receptor clonality may be helpful for differential diagnosis. We report a case of atypical molluscum contagiosum accompanied by atypical lymphocytic infiltration showing CD30 positivity.
