The cutaneous horn is a conical tumoral lesion whose height is prevalent over the diameter of its base, characterized by hyperkeratotic appearance associated with multiple causes and histological development over benign, premalignant and malignant lesions. The primary diagnosis is mainly suggested by the appearance and course of these lesions, however to discard a malignant base pathology always is necessary the surgical excision and histopathological examination. We report two cases with clinical characteristics in mucosa of the lower lip and simultaneous growth of two lesions together, infrequent observations of this entity in literature reviews. We want to remark the surgical excision of these lesions preserving the shape and function of the lip.

Palabras clave : Cutaneous horn of the lip; Lip cancer; Excision of the lip.
