Abstract

A cutaneous horn is uncommon disease. Most of time it affects elderly men and often arises from sun exposed skin. The horn is frequently conical, made of stratum corneum. Cutaneous horn occurs in coalition with or as a reaction to a wide variety of underlying benign premalignant and malignant skin diseases. It is mandatory to determine the nature of the disease at the base of lesion to rule out malignancy. Surgery is the treatment of choice. Here we report a case of cutaneous horn from sebaceous cyst.
