Abstract
The indications for and limitations of cryosurgery for various types of hemangiomas on the body surface or in the intraoral region are reported based on our clinical experience. In our opinion, cryosurgery is not the method of choice in the management of hemangiomas but is useful under certain conditions, as with a localized cavernous hemangioma in the facial or intraoral region. It is also valuable for strawberry marks with bleeding or infection and may be acceptable for small port-wine stains; in the treatment of extensive port-wine stains, a resulting hypertrophic scar or depigmentation may present difficulties.Keywords
