传染性软疣 (MC) 是由痘病毒科病毒引起的皮肤感染。感染通常是无害且无关紧要的，偶尔会自行消退。它很少与如此严重的身体和心理疾病相关。临床皮损多为无痛性丘疹或结节，中央有脐。表现出脑样表面的疼痛性肛门生殖器肿瘤很少有报道。人类免疫缺陷病毒 (HIV) 感染患者的 MC 感染可能会出现全身性丘疹和丘疹结节，有时会进展为肿瘤性病变。对艾滋病毒患者的感染进行早期发现和有效治疗将大大有助于防止肿瘤进展，而众所周知，肿瘤对治疗具有耐药性。肿瘤对 X 射线外束放射治疗反应良好。版权所有：© 2024 印度性传播疾病和艾滋病杂志。

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a skin infection caused by a virus of the poxvirus family. The infection is usually innocuous and inconsequential, occasionally resolving spontaneously. It is rarely associated with such severe physical and psychological morbidity. The clinical lesions are usually painless papules or nodules with central umbilication. Painful anogenital tumors exhibiting a cerebriform surface have rarely been reported. MC infection in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients may present with generalized papules and papulonodules, and sometimes, progression to tumorous lesions. Early detection and effective treatment of the infection in HIV patients will go a long way in preventing progression to tumors, which are known to be resistant to treatment. The tumors responded well to X-ray external beam radiotherapy.Copyright: © 2024 Indian Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and AIDS.
