Abstract

Skin horn (cornu cutaneum) is a relatively benign, premalignant or malignant lesion characterized by a material forming a horn- shaped bulge on the skin. The case presentation consisted of an average of 2 years old-ivesi sheep in the livestock management that was visited for health screening. Physical examination revealed a tapered, right-sided deviation in the frontal region. In addition, a curved mass like the hook was detected on the dorso-lateral of the right nasal base. In histopathological examination, hyperkeratotic lesions were seen isolated. Both the character of the mass and the histopathological results have allowed us to reach the diagnosis of cornu cutaneum. As a result, this case, especially observed in human medicine, is rarely encountered in veterinary medicine.

Özet

Deri boynuzu (cornu cutaneum) keratinize bir materyalin deride boynuz şeklinde bir çıkıntı oluşturmasıyla karakterize nispeten nadir görülen iyi huylu, premalignant veya malignant bir lezyondur. İnsanlarda gözlenen bu rahatsızlık evcil ve vahşi hayvanlarda da rapor edilmiştir. Olgu sunumunu, sağlık taraması amacıyla gidilen küçükbaş hayvan işletmesindeki yaklaşık 2 yaşında 1 adet ivesi ırkı dişi koyun oluşturdu. Fiziki muayenede frontal bölgede solid, sirkumskript ve dorsale doğru konikleşmiş, hafif sağa deviasyon gösteren kitle tespit edildi. Ayrıca sağ burun kaidesi dorso-lateralinde aynı özellikte ancak kanca gibi kıvrılmış kitle tespit edildi. Histopatolojik incelemede hiperkeratotik izole lezyonlar görüldü. Gerek kitlenin karakteri, gerekse de histopatolojik sonuçlar kornu kutaneum tanısına ulaşmamızı sağladı. Sonuç olarak özellikle insan hekimliğinde gözlenen bu vaka nadiren veteriner hekimlikte de karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
