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 ngokuyisisekelo ukukhula okubonakalayo okufana nophondo lwesilwane esimhlophe noma esiphuzi uma usibheka. Manje sekuqondwa kabanzi ukuthi lezi zimpondo zivela njengokusabela ezindabeni ezahlukahlukene zesikhumba-ezinye ziyingozi, ezinye ezingase ziphenduke umdlavuza. Actinic keratoses ziyimbangela evame kakhulu engewona umdlavuza, kuyilapho i- squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) iyimbangela evame kakhulu yomdlavuza. 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.
I- Cutaneous horn iyisihlahla esiminyene, esimise okwekhoni esinesikhumba esijiyile, esivame ukufana nophondo lwesilwane. Yigama elichaza ukwakheka okungajwayelekile kwamangqamuzana esikhumba aqinile, esikhundleni sesifo esithile. Cutaneous horns ingakhula eduze nezimo zesikhumba ezinobungozi, ezingaphambi komdlavuza, noma ezinomdlavuza. Ukukhathazeka okuyinhloko ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwebala lesikhumba elijiyile elilimele ilanga kanye nokukhula okungaba nomdlavuza njenge-squamous cell carcinoma. Esinye isisulu i-keratoacanthoma, evezwa njengesimila esiphakanyisiwe, esifana nezinzipho. Ukwelashwa ngokuvamile kuhilela ukususa uphondo bese uluhlola ngesibonakhulu ukuze uhlole umdlavuza. 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 ezimweni ezifika ku-20%, kanti i-squamous-cell carcinoma iwuhlobo oluvame kakhulu. Isigameko se-squamous-cell carcinoma sifinyelela ku-37% lapho isilonda sikhona epipini.
