Atypical presentations of molluscum contagiosum (MC) infection can be expected in renal transplant recipients, as a result of long‐term immunosuppression. However, giant MC has rarely been reported in this population. We present a 28‐year‐old female renal transplant recipient receiving immunosuppressive therapy who developed multiple giant MC lesions on her axillary folds. The lesions were treated successfully with curettage and electrocauterization.
