Cutaneous horn: A rare subtype of juvenile xanthogranuloma

Pilomatricoma is an uncommon benign adnexal tumor of childhood. We report a case of pilomatricoma presenting as a large, recurrent painful cutaneous horn on the neck of an 8-year-old boy treated with surgical excision. On histopathology, classical features of pilomatricoma along with transepidermal elimination and perforation were shown. We propose that perforating pilomatricoma and pilomatrical horn represent equivalent clinical and pathological entities. The diagnosis of perforating pilomatricoma should be considered in pediatric patients presenting with a cutaneous horn.

Cutaneous horn: A rare subtype of juvenile xanthogranuloma

Abstract: Because of variability in the JXG shape and the extensive range of a cutaneous horn differential diagnosis, dermatologists should keep this diagnosis in their mind in the time of encountering with infants or children cases of cutaneous horn.
