Cutaneous Horn of the Glans.

Cutaneous horn is a protuberance constituted by compact keratinous material, with a hard consistence similar to a horn, which occurs more frequently in photoexposed areas. The authors describe a case of cutaneous horn on the glans considered a rare location. Verrucous carcinoma was the histopathological diagnosis of the base of the horn and lichen sclerosis, the precursor lesion.

Flagellate Dermatitis by Shiitake Mushroom.

The authors present a case of flagellate dermatitis in a previously healthy young male, triggered by the consumption of shiitake mushrooms. Complete remission without complications was obtained within 7 days, simply by the application of dexamethasone cream 0.1%. Considering the growing use of this originally Asian fungus in cookery worldwide, it is likely that we will see increased occurrence of this benign and self-limited condition also in the Western world.
