  • Abstract:
  • Keratin horn is a rare hyperkeratotic epithelial lesion resembling an animal horn. Such lesions are predominant in sites that are exposed to sun light. We hereby discuss an unusual presentation of a keratin horn in the oral mucosa along the inner aspect of left buccal mucosa. Histopathological examination shows hyperkeratotic epithelium with no features of dysplasia. The patient showed no recurrence on six months follow up.
