Angiokeratoma is a rare vascular malformation of unknown etiology. The circumscriptum type presents since childhood and affects preferentially women. Some therapies have been tried, including: curettage and electrosurgery, cryotherapy, surgical excision and laser. We report a case of angiokeratoma circumscriptum with good response to cryotherapy.
