CORNU CUTANEUM OF THE HUMAN SCALP

Cornu cutaneum-cutaneous horn on the penis

We report a 38-year-old man presenting with a penile cutaneous horn. Cutaneous horns are seen in sun-exposed areas and their occurrence on the penis is uncommon. The association with malignancy on the penis makes proper identification of these lesions essential. Standard treatment involves local excision, but the presence of malignancy mandates a partial penectomy.

Plantar Cornu Cutaneum Associated with Cutaneous Myxoma

Cutaneous horns are rare in black patients probably as a result of the rarity of sun induced associated skin lesions. However reports of these lesions are filtering in from Africa. In this paper we report an unusual case on the sole of the foot in a native African from Nigeria. This is probably the first documentation of the lesion on the sole of the foot in the world literature.

Diagnosis and Management of Cornu Cutaneum of Nasal Vestibule: A Rare Case Report

Cornu cutaneum is a relatively uncommon projectile, irregular, hyperkeratotic nodule that can be seen in places such as scalp, forehead, eyelids, ear, nose, lips, and upper extremities which are subjectable to sunlight. Treatment is surgery with radical margins. Excisional biopsy is enough for treatment of the lesion on head and face. However, there is only little literature about cornu cutaneu...

Trichosporon cutaneum C.A.P.D. peritonitis.

Uptake of phenol by Trichosporon cutaneum.

The soil yeast Trichosporon cutaneum, which is distinguished by having a strictly oxidative metabolism, can be induced to utilize phenol as a sole carbon source. The present paper shows that such phenol-induced cells contain a specific, energy-dependent uptake system for phenol. Phenol uptake is not directly linked to its o-hydroxylation inside the cell, the first step of phenol metabolism. The...
