Molluscum contagiosum is relatively uncommon in adults. In this elderly lady only one solitary lesion in the leg was found, but with giant dimensions: about 1.5 cm in diameter. Curettage or liquid nitrogen cryosurgery are good therapeutic alternatives. If more lesions are found in adults, a check for possible immunological disturbances is recommended.
