Lesions caused by molluscum contagiosum are small, discrete, waxy, dome-shaped papules, usually 3 to 5 mm in diameter, with central
umbilication.
Caption: Edematous skin-colored papules without central
umbilication are evident on the lower extremity.
In healthy children, the molluscum lesions are typically skin-colored, dome shaped with characteristic
umbilication which resolves spontaneously.
Ocular examination revealed multiple, firm, pearly, dome-shaped mostly giant papules with central
umbilication on the right lower eyelid and small umbilicated papules on the right and left upper eyelids.
Central
umbilication is the classic sign of MC but usually is clearly seen only in larger lesions.
The lesion on her finger had progressed to 2 cm in diameter with a 3-4 mm central white ring and
umbilication.
After resolution of the infection, a small
umbilication in the skin remained.
The central depression or
umbilication has a white, waxy, curd-like core.
Lesions are well-defined, white papules with a central indentation but lesions without central
umbilication can also be seen.
Examination revealed multiple skin coloured papules with
umbilication and plaques with erosions of size 0.
It is asymptomatic and presents with small pearly white or pink round/oval papules that may have
umbilication.
8) This central
umbilication results from a subjacent pancreatic duct.
The overlying mucosa can show
umbilication at the site of the draining duct and yet remain normal.
