Abstract
- Cutaneous horn is a clinical description for a protruding mass of keratin, which may arise from benign and malignant lesions. There have been 21 cases of cutaneous horns reported in Korea: 19 cases in adults, 2 cases in children, and no case in infants. We report the case of an 8-month-old girl who presented with a pea-sized, hyperkeratotic nodule on the dorsum of the right foot. Histopathologic examination confirmed the nodule to be a cutaneous horn arising from an angiokeratoma.
