<p class="abstract">COVID-19 infections is known to have a multitude of clinical presentations, and newer clinical complications continue to be reported from all over the world.

Introduction Cornu cutaneum is a nodule of dense keratin, resembling the horn of animals, an uncommon clinical condition predominantly seen in elderly men, and even rare to be seen on the pinna.   Case Report A 70 year old man, presented with a horn like swelling on the left pinna for 2 years. The lesion was excised and histopathological examination did not show any underlying or associated conditions.  Discussion The cause of worry here is not the disfigurement, but the probability of underlying premalignant or malignant condition.
