Abstract

Cutaneous horn (cornu cutaneum) is the clinical description of a hyperproliferation of compact keratin in response to a wide array of underlying benign and malignant pathologic changes. We report a patient with a giant cutaneous horn associated with a verruca vulgaris. The possible causes of cutaneous horns are reviewed.
