A cutaneous horn (Cornu Cutaneum) is a relatively rare tumour, most often arising on sun-exposed skin in elderly men, usually after the Vth decade. The tumor is often conical, consisting of marked retention of stratum corneum. This lesion can be caused by many primary underlying processes that may be benign, premalignant or malignant, thus the importance of accurate determination of the nature of the conditions at the base of the lesion. Surgery is the treatment of choice. We describe an illustrative case with cutaneous horn of the forearm. We also review various known causes of cutaneous horn and the pertinent literature.
皮角是一种相对罕见的肿瘤，最常发生于老年男性暴露于阳光下的皮肤，通常在50岁之后。肿瘤常呈圆锥形，由显著的角质层潴留构成。该病变可由许多原发性潜在病变引起，这些病变可能是良性、癌前或恶性的，因此准确确定病变基底情况的性质很重要。手术是首选的治疗方法。我们描述了一例前臂皮角的典型病例。我们还回顾了皮角的各种已知病因及相关文献。
