Four bullocks were presented with fracture, bending from base and trauma leading to horn affections. History revealed horn rubbing against hard objects with head down and tilting towards the affected horn. Physical examination exhibited severe discomfort and pain on palpation of affected horn. The cases were tentatively diagnosed as horn cancer and were treated surgically by flap method. The animals were treated with flap method under sedation and cornual nerve block. Histopathology later confirmed squamous cell carcinoma. Post-operatively, all animals were managed with Antibiotics, Anti-inflammatories and Vitamins. All animals recovered without any complications.
