| This
entity is characterized by multiple raised skin nodules with umbilicated
centers thought to be caused by molluscum virus (a pox virus) (#21825).
The pathology consists of an epithelium which is acanthotic or
thickened with an umbilicated center (#21826).
Affected epithelial cells contain characteristic "molluscum
bodies" which are eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions composed
of virus (#21827). These
inclusions are initially small in the deeper layers of the epithelium but
increase in size near the surface of the lesion, occupying the entire
cytoplasm of the cell.
