Abstract
Lymphocytoma cutis is a rare cutaneous eruption that may possess clinical and histologic features resembling malignant lymphoma. Our purpose was to find a good method to treat patients with lymphocytoma cutis. Five patients with lymphocytoma cutis were seen; each agreed to cryosurgery. In each patient the lesions responded well to cryosurgery. 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.
