Horn carcinoma characterized by softness of horn base followed by necrosis, bending and finally breaking down leaving granulation tissue at horn base with offensive odour was diagnosed in 10 cattle. The cancerous hard tissue had converted into spongy, greyish white cauliflower like tumor growth having rough and verrucous surface. Surgical horn amputation along with anti-neoplastic chemotherapy was found effective in curing horn cancer and ensuring uneventfull recovery in all animals.
