Abstract
Cryosurgery is an effective modality for treatment of many benign, premalignant, and malignant cutaneous lesions.

The differences in management between benign and malignant lesions are addressed. This article discusses cryobiology, equipment, advantages of cryosurgery, techniques of treatment, tissue response, results, complications, and contraindications.
