Abstract:
Cutaneous horn is a clinica) diagnosis based upon the presence of a large protuberant mass of keratin. We report a case of cutaneous horn arising from keratoacanthoma in a 76-year old woman. The patient showed a dome-shaped nodule 2n in diameter with a central crater on thc right temple area. A yellow brown colored cornical hyperkeratotic protruding lesion(0.7* 0.7cm size) from the central crater of the nodule was also observed. Histopathological findings of the lesions showed charaeteristic findings of keratoacanfhoma and cutaneous horn. The lesion was removed by surgical excision.
