title: Lymphocytoma cutis: a series of five patients successfully treated with cryosurgery.
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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
