What is it about?
Molluscum pendulum, is a benign asymptomatic fibroepithelial tumor that rarely appears on the areola-nipple plate. This tumor rarely exceeds 2 cm. The nipple is an unusual site for it. The soft fibroid may arise spontaneously or following traumatic implantation. We report the case of a patient with swelling at the nipple-areolar plate with a review of the literature.
