Cutaneous horns, also known by the Latin name cornu cutaneum, are unusual keratinous skin tumors with the appearance of horns, or sometimes of wood or coral. Formally, this is a clinical diagnosis for a "conical projection above the surface of the skin." They are usually small and localized but can, in very rare cases, be much larger. Although often benign, they can also be malignant or premalignant.
Cutaneous horn ngokusisiseko kukukhula okubonakalayo okufana nophondo lwesilwanyana esimhlophe okanye esityheli xa usijongile. Ngoku kuyaqondwa ngokubanzi ukuba ezi mpondo zivela njengempendulo kwimiba yolusu eyahlukeneyo-ezinye zibuthathaka, ezinye zinokujika zibe ngumhlaza. Actinic keratoses zezona zizathu ziqhelekileyo ezingengomhlaza, ngelixa i- squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) ingoyena nobangela womhlaza. A cutaneous horn is usually evident upon physical examination and can be described as a white or yellow exophytic protrusion in the shape of an animal horn. Cutaneous horns are now widely accepted as a reactive cutaneous growth caused by a variety of benign, premalignant, or malignant primary processes. Actinic keratoses are the most common premalignant primary cause of cutaneous horn, while squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant cause.
Cutaneous horn sisihluma esishinyeneyo esimile okwekhowuni kunye nesikhumba esijiyileyo, esihlala sifana nophondo lwesilwanyana. Ligama elichaza ukwakheka okungaqhelekanga kweeseli zolusu lukhuni, endaweni yesifo esithile. Cutaneous horns inokuphuhla ecaleni kweemeko zolusu ezinobungozi, ngaphambili, okanye ezinomhlaza. Eyona nto iphambili ixhalabisayo kukwahlula phakathi kwebala lolusu elonakeleyo elijiyileyo kunye nokukhula okunokuba ngumhlaza okufana nesquamous cell carcinoma. Omnye unobangela yikeratoacanthoma, ebonakala njengethumba eliphakanyisiweyo, elifana nezikhonkwane. Unyango lubandakanya ukususa uphondo kwaye uluvavanye phantsi kwe-microscope ukujonga umhlaza. Cutaneous horn is a dense, cone-shaped growth with thickened skin, often resembling an animal's horn. It's a term describing an unusual buildup of hardened skin cells, rather than a specific disease. Cutaneous horns can develop alongside various benign, pre-cancerous, or cancerous skin conditions. A key concern is distinguishing between a thickened sun-damaged skin spot and a potentially cancerous growth like squamous cell carcinoma. Another culprit is keratoacanthoma, which presents as a raised, nail-like tumor. Treatment typically involves removing the horn and examining it under a microscope to check for cancer.
I-malignancy ikhona kwi-20% yeemeko, kunye ne-squamous-cell carcinoma yolona hlobo luxhaphakileyo. Izehlo ze-squamous-cell carcinoma zifikelela kuma-37% xa kukho isilonda kwilungu lobudoda.
