Intra-oral molluscumcontagiosum with post radiotherapy low grade soft tissue tumorin an old operated case of intra-oral malignancy: A Case Report

Molluscumcontagiosum (MC) is a self-limiting wart, resulting from pox-virus infection. The disease is generallyseen on the skin of children or in the ano-rectal region of adults. The lesion is rare on the lips or in the oral cavity and if it does occur, then it is due to immunocompromised status. MC generally produces a dome-shaped nodule that is usually, yet not invariably umbilicated. We report a rare case of 52-yearold leucopenic man with intra-oral MC infection and post radiotherapy low grade soft tissue tumor in an old operated case of intra-oral malignancy. This patient had atypical ulcero-proliferative tumor-like growth inthe gum.
