RESUMEN

Cutaneous horn, a clinical manifestation of hyper-proliferation of compact keratin, can represent a wide array of underlying benign and malignant pathologies. Here we report a unique case of a giant cutaneous horn (7x4x3 cm) that developed on a chronic ulcer in a non sun-exposed area. This case presented challenges in terms of diagnosis and treatment. We also review the literature about this rare condition.
