Abstract
|
|
|
|
The cutaneous horn rarely occurs on the penis and was reported only 43 cases since l854. The lesion is characterized by an overgrowth and a cornification of the epithelium, forming a solid protuberance. On microscopic examination there is extreme hyperkeratosis, dyskerstosis, and acanthosis This process usually develops over a pre-existing skin condition (i.e. wart, nevus, area of trauma or malignant change) and may enlarge quite rapidly Wide excision with removal of a margin of normal tissue around the base is the treatment of choice Recently we have experienced a case of penile cutaneous horn treated with partial penectomy.
