Genital Giant Molluscum Contagiosum in an Immunocompetent Male Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is an epidermal infectious disease caused by DNA molluscipoxvirus. Genital MC is well known as a sexually transmitted disease occurring in adulthood. A 27-year-old male presented with a two-month history of a growing pinkie-sized genital mass. At the right base of the penis, a dome-shaped 1.5 cm nodule was present with two typical MCs nearby. A giant genital MC was diagnosed, which was gently and bluntly plucked off with forceps without pain or bleeding. The PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched using the keyword "giant molluscum contagiosum," and profiles of 104 cases were confirmed. Genital MCs are rare in immunocompetent patients.
