A rapidly growing giant Cutaneous Horn on the chest.
Journal of dermatological case reports, 2015Co-Authors: Livia Francine Soriano, Miriam Emily Piansay-sorianoAbstract:A giant Cutaneous Horn (GCH) is a morphologic description of conical lesion with a dense, hyperkeratotic protrusion of more than 1 cm in height that resembles an animal Horn but without its bony core. These can occur in association with benign, premalignant or malignant Cutaneous diseases which can be determined by excision and histopathologic review of the base. A PubMed search (performed June 2015) revealed 54 cases of giant Cutaneous Horns in world literature. The most common site affected was the scalp followed by lip and leg. The commonest histological diagnosis found was squamous cell carcinoma followed by verruca vulgaris and trichilemmal Horns. We present an 85-year-old Filipino female with a one year history of a rapidly growing skin lesion on her upper chest. This was excised fully and histological review of the base demonstrated a keratoacanthoma. This is the first known occurrence of a giant Cutaneous Horn on the chest. While giant Cutaneous Horns are more commonly associated with malignant lesions, differential diagnosis includes benign lesions such as keratoacanthomas. This differential can be considered in a rapidly growing lesion. Excision and histopathologic review of the base of a Cutaneous Horn are essential to guide potential further therapy.

Pyogenic granuloma underlying Cutaneous Horn in a young boy.
Indian dermatology online journal, 2016Co-Authors: Pragya A Nair, Rahul Krishna S Kota, Abhisheik P PilaniAbstract:Cutaneous Horn is an elongated, keratinous projection that usually occurs over the sun-exposed areas. It is a clinical diagnosis and may overlie any benign, premalignant, or malignant conditions. Treatment includes wide surgical excision with careful histological examination to exclude a focus of malignancy. An unusual case of a pyogenic granuloma presenting as Cutaneous Horn on the lower lip in an 11-year-old boy is presented here.

Actinic keratosis underlying Cutaneous Horn at an unusual site— a case report
Ecancermedicalscience, 2013Co-Authors: Pragya A Nair, Arvind H Chaudhary, Malay J MehtaAbstract:Cutaneous Horns are usually found on chronic sun-damaged skin. A Cutaneous Horn is a rare tumour, often conical, circumscribed, and composed of dead keratin usually derived from base keratinocytes. It occurs mainly in association with underlying benign, premalignant, and malignant Cutaneous diseases. The commonest malignancy is squamous cell carcinoma. Thus, to accurately ascertain the nature of the condition at the base of the lesion and to rule out malignancy, an excision biopsy is indicated. Here, we report a case of Cutaneous Horn over the palmar aspect of the left middle finger in a 45-year-old man whose histopathology showed actinic keratosis.

Cutaneous Horn Arising From a Burn Scar: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Journal of burn care & research : official publication of the American Burn Association, 2018Co-Authors: Saadallah M. Al-zacko, Ayman S. MohammadAbstract:We report a 36-year-old male presenting with a Cutaneous Horn from the anterior aspect of left knee burn scar. Cutaneous Horn is a cone-shaped, hyperkeratotic lesion. It is seen in sun-exposed areas. Its occurrence on the lower extremity is rare. The unique feature of this report is that this Cutaneous Horn arose from a burn scar in a non-sun-exposed area, a site rarely noted for the development of Cutaneous Horns.
