A 34-year-old female presented with a small lesion in the left lower eyelid for 3 weeks. It was dome-shaped, 1.5 mm in diameter having a waxy papule with an umbilicated center [Figure 1]a. Her vision was 20/20, N. 6 in both eyes. The patient was diabetic. The lesion was excised by shave biopsy under local anesthesia. In raw tissue, a drop of fluorescein stain[1] was put and the intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were visible and documented [Figure 1]b, which was confirmed by histopathology [Figure 1]c. This was the first documented viral inclusion bodies of molluscum contagiosum in an ophthalmic raw specimen which was confirmed by histopathology.[1],[2],[3] | Figure 1: (a) Clinical photograph of the left eye showing an umbilicated lesion in the lower eyelid. (b) The intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies of molluscum contagiosum with fluorescein stain (×40). (c) Showing similar eosinophilic inclusion bodies in a hematoxylin-eosin-stained slide (×100)
