Abstract
Histological examination of 42 early lesions of molluscum contagiosum of children was performed. At the top of the molluscum papule, the epidermis cylindrically hung down into the dermis, thus forming an epidermal cylinder with a narrow canal. Acanthomatous change occurred at the bottom of the epidermal cylinder. Of the 42 molluscum lesions, 13 showed a direct connection with components of hair follicle. The central pitting of molluscum contagiosum may be the ostium of pilar infundibulum.
