Molluscum Contagiosum (MC) is a common, benign viral disease. It usually affects the skin and rarely mucosal membranes. Although this disease can be seen in all age groups, it is most commonly seen in children and sexually active adults. In MC disease, lesions characterized by a single or multiple, 3-5 mm diameter papules with a navel in the middle can be seen all over the body, except for the palm and soles. Histopathological examination shows intracytoplasmic Molluscum bodies also known as Henderson-Paterson bodies. In this case, an acne-like lesion with a size of 0.5 cm on the left malar region was observed on the face of a 27-year-old female patient. After the lesion was extirpated, the diagnosis of MC showing metaplastic ossification was made on histopathological examination. This case is presented because metaplastic ossification is very rare in MC disease.
