A Case of Cutaneous Horn Arising from Dermatofibroma

ABSTRACT

Cutaneous horn is a clinical diagnosis based upon the presence of a large protuberant mass of keratin. We report a case of cutaneous horn arising from dermatofibroma in a 31-year old woman. A silver whitish colored comical hyperkeratotic protruding lesion (1.0  0.7 cm size) from the red brown colored nodule was observed. Histopathologic findings showed characteristic findings of dermatofibroma and cutaneous horn. The lesion was removed by surgical excision.
