Abstract

Cutaneous horn is a horn-like hyperkeratotic lesion. Cutaneous horns are seen in sun-exposed areas. Its presence over penis is unusual and rare. Herein, we report a case of horn of penis in a 40 year old male. The association with malignancy on the penis makes proper identication of these lesions essential. Standard treatment involves local excision, but the presence of malignancy mandates a partial penectomy
