CUTANEOUS HORN IN ACTINIC KERATOSIS-A CASE REPORT [b][/b]
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 24
Abstract
A cutaneous horn is a relatively rare tumour, most often arising from sun exposed skin in elderly men, usually after fifth decade. The tumour is often conical, consisting of marked retention of stratum corneum. Cutaneous horn occurs in association with or as a response to a wide variety of underlying benign, premalignant and malignant cutaneous diseases. Thus the importance of accurate determination of nature of the condition at the base of lesion, surgery is the treatment of choice. Here we report a case of cutaneous horn in actinic keratosis.
