Cutaneous horn is a relatively uncommon lesion consisting of keratotic material resembling that of an animal horn. This kind of lesion is more common in Caucasians and in older age groups. The primary lesion underlying the horny material may be benign, premalignant or malignant. The treatment of choice is an excisional biopsy with a narrow margin, because of the possibility of malignancy. The material must be submitted for histopathological evaluation. The first reported case of cutaneous horn arising on the vermillion border of the lower lip in a black child is presented.
皮肤角是一种相对罕见的病变，由类似动物角的角质物质组成。这种病变在白种人和老年人群中更为常见。角质物质下方的原发性病变可能是良性、癌前或恶性的。由于存在恶性的可能性，首选的治疗方法是进行切缘狭窄的切除活检。必须将该物质送去进行组织病理学评估。本文报道了首例发生在一名黑人儿童下唇唇红缘的皮肤角病例。
