A simple cryo-technique for the treatment of cutaneous soft fibromas.
OBJECTIVE
We propose a simple cryo-technique for the treatment of cutaneous soft fibromas.


METHODS
This method, useful for fibromas larger than 4-5 mm in diameter, allows the freezing of the only soft fibroma without affecting the surrounding skin.


RESULTS
The technique shows the following advantages: it is simple to perform, it avoids local anesthesia, and it can be used in pacemaker holders.


CONCLUSIONS
The cosmetic results are very good.
