Abstract: Exophytic lesions are papillomatous, verrucous, popular, nodular, dome shaped, polypoid and bosselated that can be treated by cryotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of cryotherapy on squamous papilloma and fibroma. Total 20 squamous papilloma and fibroma in 20 patients aged 20-65 year were treated. Each lesion was frozen with nitrogen oxide for 20-30 sec and the patients were examined 1 week and 2 weeks after treatment. Finally the data was analyzed with paired t test. The lesions in 17 patients were recovered completely after 1 week. The lesions in 3 patients have been become smaller. There was significantly difference between diameter of the lesions before and after treatment (p<0.05). Results of this study showed cryotherapy can be applied successfully in treatment of fibroma and squamous papilloma.
