Cutaneous horn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cutaneous horns, also known by the Latin name cornu cutaneum, are unusual keratinous skin tumors with the appearance of horns, or sometimes of wood or coral. They are usually small and localized, but can in very rare cases be much larger. Although often benign, they can also be malignant or premalignant.
