Cutaneous horns-
A Practical Treatise On Diseases Of The Skin
By John Vietch Shoemaker
1890
"Horny outgrowths, which resemble very much in appearance the horns of the lower animals are occasionally developed upon the human skin. The shape and size of these excrescences vary; they may be straight or curved, but are usually twisted in various directions, sometimes assuming the appearance of a ram's horn...in other cases they are cylindrical, conical, or flattened in appearance. The free end may be pointed, but it is generally blunt or split up. The growth outside is solid and hard, but within it may be soft and crumbling. The surface is dry, wrinkled, and fissured. In color, horns are generally grayish, but they sometimes vary from a light yellow to a dark yellow, brown, or even black. In size they are generally small, but they may grow from one to many lines in length and thickness...They may appear on any part of the body, but are observed most frequently about the head, particularly on the face and scalp. Their next most common location is the genitals."
