Cutaneous horn (cornu cutaneum) is a relatively uncommon lesion consisting of a projectile, conical, dense, hyperkeratotic nodule which resembles the horn of an animal. Cutaneous horns most frequently occur in sun-exposed parts and are typically found in the face and the scalp, but may also occur on the hands, eyelids, nose, chest, neck, shoulder and penis. Their occurrence on the penis is uncommon. We report a 42-year-old man presenting with penile cutaneous horn. The association with malignancy on the penis makes proper identification of these lesions essential. Standard treatment involves local excision, but the presence of malignancy mandates a partial penectomy.
皮肤角是一种相对罕见的病变，由一个突出的、圆锥形、致密的、角化过度的结节组成，类似动物的角。皮肤角最常发生在暴露于阳光下的部位，通常见于面部和头皮，但也可能出现在手部、眼睑、鼻子、胸部、颈部、肩部和阴茎。它们在阴茎上出现并不常见。我们报告一例42岁男性阴茎皮肤角病例。阴茎上这些病变与恶性肿瘤的关联使得正确识别它们至关重要。标准治疗方法是局部切除，但如果存在恶性肿瘤则需要进行部分阴茎切除术。
