Molluscum contagiosum is a benign contagious disease caused by a poxvirus. The virus proliferates within keratinocytes and forms intracytoplasmic Molluscum bodies. Though it is a common clinical condition, histologically is not yet reported from this region of Mymensingh. We received a skin biopsy specimen in a pathology laboratory for histological examination. The Haematoxylin and Eosin stained sections revealed typical intracytoplasmic Molluscum bodies in keratinocytes. The lesions were in the trunk, which is a common site for Molluscum Contagiosum (MC). As the diagnosis of Molluscum contagiosum is easy by histological examination, every patient suspected to be this disease is recommended to be examined histologically to exclude other similar types of lesions.
