Abstract
Haemangiomas of the oral cavity are common benign vascular tumours of infancy. Several treatment modalities are described for haemangiomas, including sclerotherapy, embolisation, laser surgery and cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is the application of varying extremes of low temperatures to destroy abnormal tissue. Since cryosurgery is effective, simple and easy to perform, it is used in the treatment of lesions in both medicine and dentistry. Cryosurgery provides many advantages such as easy operation, absence of intraoperative bleeding and low infection rate. In this case, the cryosurgical treatment of a young patient who suffered from multiple haemangiomas of the oral cavity that was refractory to medical treatment is presented.
