Carcinoma Buccal Mucosa Underlying a Giant Cutaneous Horn : A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract EN

Cutaneous horn is a conical, dense, and hyperkeratotic protrusion that often appears similar to the horn of an animal.

Giant cutaneous horns are rare; no incidence or prevalence has been reported.

The significance of cutaneous horns is that they occur in association with, or as a response to, a wide variety of underlying benign, premalignant, and malignant cutaneous diseases.

A case of giant cutaneous horn of left oral commissure along with carcinoma left buccal mucosa is reported here as an extremely rare oral/perioral pathology.
