Cutaneous horns: review of literature and case report.

0

TL;DRAbstract

Cutaneous horns, although rarely seen in the podiatric practice, must be considered in one's differential diagnosis when treating keratinous skin lesions. These lesions have been described as both malignant and premalignant, and an adequate amount of tissue at the base of the lesion must be obtained for proper biopsy. The authors discuss a case in which an unusual surgical technique is used in the treatment of a cutaneous horn.
