Cutaneous Horn


Grandmother Zhang Ruifang, 101 years old, of Linlou village in Henan Province, began developing a mysterious horn last year. It started with a rough patch of skin on her forehead but it started to grow and is now 2.4 inches long. Another growth has appeared on the other side of her forehead, possibly another cutaneous horn. Common in elderly people, they can be removed surgically and more than half are benign.
