title: [Cryosurgery of condylomata acuminata gigantea--a contribution to therapy].
abstract: Two cases of condylomata acuminata gigantea treated with cryosurgery are described. A clinical and histologic differentiation from Buschke-Loewenstein's tumours, sex-specific differences, possible malignant transformations and differential diagnostic diseases are described and references are made to confusions with condyloma-like, primary carcinomas. Compared to conservative surgical treatment of condylomata acuminata gigantea, cryosurgery offers the advantage of rapid necrosis of the condylomata which are repelled without any further surgical intervention and heal without scars. Therefore we consider cryosurgery a more refined technique in treatment of condylomata acuminata gigantea. In extensive involvement, however, cryosurgical measures must be repeated.
