Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We present a series of 10 cases of Molluscum contagiosum (MC) in a 10-year period (2008-2017). Over 51,342 consultations during these years, they represent 0.01% of the total. The average age was 38 years. The average parity was 0.7 (but 50% are nulliparous). They presented multiple lesions on the vulva, perineum, buttocks, inner thighs, and/or suprapubic area. The objective of the study is to compare the progression of the disease with and without treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Anamnesis, clinical examination, and photography were performed with the informed consent of the patients. RESULTS. In 3 cases, there was abnormal vaginocervical cytology (ASCUS, LSIL) associated with positive HPV. 5 cases did not receive any treatment, and the lesions disappeared before one year (7 months on average). 5 of the cases were treated with imiquimod, and the lesions resolved in 5 months on average. However, they required several treatments. CONCLUSION. MC is considered a low-frequency STD. It is the visual aesthetics rather than the symptoms that bother the most.
