Abstract
Giant molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a peculiar
variant of the disease with the presence of multiple
or single lesions larger than 5 mm. In contrast to typical
molluscum contagiosum, dermoscopic features of
giant lesions have been poorly described, and none
of the reports included multiple giant lesions in an
immunocompromised patient. We present a patient
with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome diagnosed
with multiple giant molluscum contagiosum
along with the dermoscopic features of this entity.
