3 inches. Its height was 3.8
inches, its skin-attachment 1.5 inches in diameter, and it ended
in a blunt extremity of 0.5 inch in diameter. Stephens mentions a
dermal horn on the buttocks at the seat of a carcinomatous
cicatrix. Harris and Domonceau speak of horns from the leg.
Cruveilhier saw a Mexican Indian who had a horn four inches long
and eight inches in circumference growing from the left lumbar
region. It had been sawed off twice by the patient's son and was
finally extirpated by Faget. The length of the pieces was 12
inches. Bellamy saw a horn on the clitoris about the size of a
tiger's claw in a its origin from beneath the preputium
clitoridis.
Horns are generally solitary but cases of multiple formation are
known Lewin and Heller record a syphilitic case with eight
cutaneous horns on the palms and soles. A female patient of
Manzuroff had as many as 185 horns.
Pancoast reports the case of a man whose nose, cheeks, forehead,
and lips were covered with horny growths, which had apparently
undergone epitheliomatous degeneration. The patient was a
sea-captain of seventy-eight, and had been exposed to the winds
all his life. He had suffered three attacks of erysipelas from
prolonged exposure.
