We hereby report light and electron‐microscopic (EM) studies on an unusual case of molluscum contagiosum occurring in an epidermal cyst It was considered that the pre‐existing cyst was inoculated with molluscum contagiosum viruses, which were confirmed electron‐microscopically. We also would like to re‐emphasize the usefulness of formalin fixed tissue for EM confirmation of viruses.
