    Abstract:
    242 patients of ocular and facial hemangioma, nevi, papilloma, etc. were treated with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy which satisfactorily removed the neoplasms in 97.2% of the cases, leaving essentially no scars, and the rest (2.8%) were improved. Pathological examinations confirmed that the neoplasms had been necrotized. There were no relapses in 97.7% of the cases after a follow-up of over 5 years. The author's experience was summarized in 9 points for good results of the treatment.
