A cutaneous horn on the ear.
A man, 64 years of age, retired and resident on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, without family or personal history of cutaneous tumours, requested primary medical evaluation for a lesion that had been present for a year. The lesion was located on his left ear, and had been growing progressively, without irritation, pain or other significant symptoms. No loss of weight or appetite was present.
