==Molluscum contagiosum==
*Etiology: caused by ''molluscum contagiosum virus''.
===Microscopic===
Features:
*A suprabasilar epidermal lesion consisting of "molluscum bodies", i.e. ''molluscum bodies'' are found above the stratum basale.<ref>[http://www.missionforvisionusa.org/anatomy/2006/08/what-is-molluscum-contagiosum.html http://www.missionforvisionusa.org/anatomy/2006/08/what-is-molluscum-contagiosum.html]</ref>
*Molluscum bodies - '''key feature''':
**Large cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm.
**Small peripheral nucleus.

Note:
*Molluscum bodies vaguely resemble ''[[signet ring cell]]s'' -- but:
**Cytoplasm eosinophilic and granular.
**Nucleus usually smaller than in signet ring cell.
**''Molluscum bodies'' are only the epidermis - an uncommon place to find SRCs without finding them elsewhere.
*The granular eosinophilic cytoplasm represents accumulated virons.

*Prominent fibrous bundles, especially at the edge of the lesion.
**Surrounded by spindle cells (fibroblasts).
***Usually thought of as fibroblasts surrounded by fibrous material ("collagen-trapping").
*Lack of adnexal structures, i.e. no sweat glands, no hair.
