Abstract

Molluscum Contagiosum is a self-limited or contagious caused by a virus of the Pox virus group. It has ocular importance to examine the eyelids for Molliscum in case of conjunctivitis unresponsive to routine therapy. We had an experience of a case of Molluscum Contagiosum on the left lower eyelid. On the corresponding site of this Molluscum at the bulbar conjunctiva, the limbus, and the cornea, no follicles, epithelial keratitis nor erosions were seen. This patient was managed by simple excision of the lesion under local infiltration anesthesia. Now, we report our experience with this patient along with the review of other papers in this report.
