Background:

  • Orf is a zoonotic viral infection caused by a poxvirus, typically affecting sheep and goats.
  • Human transmission occurs through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products.
  • The condition classically presents as a solitary papule, predominantly on the hands or fingers.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare presentation of orf in a young woman.
  • The patient developed multiple nodular lesions on her face.
  • Facial orf involvement is an uncommon clinical manifestation.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates orf presenting with multiple facial nodules, deviating from the typical solitary hand lesion.
  • This presentation expands the known clinical spectrum of orf in humans.
