Abstract
Background:
Lymphocytoma cutis is a rare cutaneous eruption that may possess clinical and histologic features resembling malignant lymphoma.
Objective:
Our purpose was to find a good method to treat patients with lymphocytoma cutis.
Methods:
Five patients with lymphocytoma cutis were seen; each agreed to cryosurgery.
Results:
In each patient the lesions responded well to cryosurgery.
Conclusion:
Cryosurgery appears to be an excellent therapeutic option for patients with lymphocytoma cutis. To our knowledge this is the first time liquid nitrogen has been used to eradicate these lesions.
