    Abstract

    Cutaneous horn is a clinical diagnosis based upon the presence of a large protuberant mass of keratin. We report a case of cutaneous horn arising from dermatofibroma in a 31-year old woman. A silver whitish colored comical hyperkeratotic protruding lesion (1.0 × 0.7 cm size) from the red brown colored nodule was observed. Histopathologic findings showed characteristic findings of dermatofibroma and cutaneous horn. The lesion was removed by surgical excision.
