Intra-Oral Molluscum Contagiosum with Post Radiotherapy Low Grade Soft Tissue Tumor in an Old Operated Case of Intra-Oral Malignancy
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a self-limiting wart, resulting from pox-virus infection. The disease is generally seen on the skin of children or in the ano-rectal region of adults. This lesion is rare on the lips or in the oral cavity and if it does occur, then it is due to immuno-compromised status. MC generally produces a dome-shaped nodule that can be umbilicated. We report a rare case of a 52-year old leucopenic man with intraoral MC infection and post radiotherapy low grade soft tissue tumor in an old operated case of intra-oral malignancy. This patient had an atypical ulcero-proliferative tumor-like growth in his right gum.
