AB A  90-year-old  woman  presents  with  a  hard  keratotic  papule  on  the  right  cheek  that  has  grown  over  6  months.  It  is  tender  to  the  touch  and  has  a  pink  base  (Figure  176-1).  A  shave  biopsy  through  the  base  is  consistent  with  a  cutaneous  horn  derived  from  a  well-differentiated  squamous  cell  carcinoma  (SCC).  The  patient  undergoes  an  elliptical  excision  at  the  base  of  the  horn  in  the  office  for  definitive  therapy.
