    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pyogenic granuloma can rarely mimic a cutaneous horn, a conical tumor of keratin. This case highlights the importance of considering pyogenic granuloma in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous horns.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • A cutaneous horn is a clinical presentation characterized by a keratotic, conical tumor.
    • Various underlying primary lesions can cause cutaneous horns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report an unusual case of pyogenic granuloma presenting as a cutaneous horn.
    • To expand the differential diagnosis for cutaneous horns.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical case presentation.
    • Review of existing literature on cutaneous horns.

    Main Results:

    • An unusual case of pyogenic granuloma clinically mimicked a cutaneous horn.
    • Pyogenic granuloma is identified as a rare cause of cutaneous horn.

    Conclusions:

    • Pyogenic granuloma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous horns.
    • Broadening the differential diagnosis aids in accurate patient management.
