“…Besides that, some authors suggest that the black pigment can decrease, locally, humoral and cellular immunity. 17 We have reported here a case of molluscum contagious accidentaly innoculated in area of tattoing. This relatively frequent skin virosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of infections occurring in the area of tattooing.…”

Molluscum contagiosum is a disease caused by a poxvirus characterized by benign self-limited eruption of single or multiple cutaneous spherical and pearly papules. Transmission usually occurs by direct contact with infected hosts. It is reported the case of a 22-year-old Caucasian male who presented characteristic pearly and umbilicated papules strictly located on the region of a tattoo. Histopathologic exam confirmed the diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum. The authors describe an uncommomn manifestation of dissemination of this virus in tattoos and also present a literature review emphasizing the transmission pathways and treatment of Molluscum contagiosum. Keywords: Molluscum Contagiosum; Poxviridae Infections; Tattoo Resumo: Molusco contagioso é uma dermatovirose causada por poxvírus e caracterizada por erupção benigna e autolimitada de uma ou múltiplas pápulas esféricas e brilhantes. A transmissão habitualmente ocorre por contato direto com indivíduos infectados. Relata-se caso de doente masculino, 22 anos, com história de surgimento de numerosas pápulas umbilicadas localizadas estritamente sobre a região de uma tatuagem. Exame histopatológico de uma das pápulas confirmou a hipótese clínica de molusco contagioso. Os autores descrevem uma manifestação pouco frequente da disseminação desse vírus em tatuagens e apresentam uma revisão da literatura, enfatizando as vias de transmissão e a terapêutica do molusco contagioso.

“…2 There are many reports of both common and flat warts inoculated during tattoo placement. 1,2,[4][5][6][7][8] It is of note that in the present case, lesions developed only on the upper part of the treated tattoos. This may explain with the possibility that the infection was related with the contamination of the black ink or tattoo needles used for the placement of the upper part of the tattoos.…”

Flat warts, or verrucae planae, are a common cutaneous infection, which tends to be multiple and grouped. They are more often found on sunexposed areas such as the face, neck, and extremities, and sometimes develop at the sites of skin trauma. The author reports on a case of flat warts which developed on the Q-switched laser tattoo removal site. Histologic findings confirmed the diagnosis of verruca plana. The author suggests that activation of the human papillomavirus should be included in the possible complications of the laser-assisted tattoo removal procedure.

“…After experimental papilloma virus inoculation, a verruca usually appears within 2 to 9 months 5 . There have been six reports in the medical literature on inoculation of HPV during tattooing [6][7][8][9][10][11] . The time between tattooing and the appearance of verruca varied from 2 months to 8 years, and the mean period was 4.5 years.…”
