Cutaneous horn: case report.
We report an interesting case of a large, rapidly developing cutaneous horn in the temple area of an 86-year-old man who was admitted to a hospital in London. The lesion had been caused by a squamous cell carcinoma. We highlight the historical and pathophysiological aspects of the condition and draw attention to the malignant potential of such lesions.
