Presumably, cryotherapy may destroy the abnormal keratinocytes and allow for repopulation with normal epidermal cells, thereby eliminating the potential for malignant transformation in the future. This case demonstrates that cryotherapy is an efficacioustherapeuticoptionthatshouldbeconsideredforthe treatment of CAH.
