Cutaneous Horn of the Eyelid: Anatomoclinical Implications
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Research and Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Cutaneous horns are relatively rare benign tumors which occur most frequently on sun exposed skin and develop on various types of underlying skin lesions: benign, premalignant and malignant. The treatment of choice consists in the surgical excision of the lesion to healthy tissue. The histopathological examination is mandatory in order to establish the nature of the lesion, on which the cutaneous horn develops. We are presenting two clinical cases of cutaneous horns of the eyelid diagnosed in a 19 and a 78 year old patient, respectively, which developed on an association of preexisting lesions: chalazion or inclusion cyst, along with moderate dysplasia of the epidermis in both cases.
