Abstract
Cutaneous horn (cornu cutaneum) is a dense, hyperkeratotic conical protrusion having similarities to that of an animal horn. These can be associated with wide variety of underlying benign pre-malignant and malignant lesions. One of them is squamous cell carcinoma. A 60 yr old male presented with a cutaneous horn from left high parietal region of scalp since 10yrs. The lesion was excised in toto and scalp defect is approximated and allowed to heal by secondary intention. Histopathology showed stratified squamous epithelium arranged in sheets and pleomorphic with hyperchromatic nuclei, keratin pearls and large amount of keratin present suggestive of keratinizing well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and management of cutaneous horn can solve both social stigmatisation and an underlying premalignant or malignant condition. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice.
