title: A simple cryo-technique for the treatment of cutaneous soft fibromas.
abstract: 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.
