We report a 36-year-old male presenting with a cutaneous horn from the anterior aspect of left knee burn scar. Cutaneous horn is a cone-shaped, hyperkeratotic lesion. It is seen in sun-exposed areas. Its occurrence on the lower extremity is rare. The unique feature of this report is that this cutaneous horn arose from a burn scar in a non-sun-exposed area, a site rarely noted for the development of cutaneous horns.
Degloving injuries of penile and scrotal skin are uncommon events and are caused mainly by accidents with industrial and agricultural machine belts. Here we report a young male who presented shortly after a farm machinery injury to his genitalia resulting in a degloving injury of his penile and scrotal skin. Optimization of the wound and subsequent reconstruction were performed by primary meshed split-thickness skin grafting, with a good functional and esthetical result.
Diabetic neuropathy is responsible for serious accidental foot burns due to the sensory loss in the lower extremities. Two patients with diabetic neuropathy are presented with deep burn of their feet after walking bare-foot on a hot pavement. Treatment and prevention of these burns are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
