Cryotherapy of auricular basal cell carcinoma. The first-line treatment of auricular basal cell carcinoma is operative. In some cases, cryotherapy may be a therapeutic alternative, but this should only be done by a medical specialist or by a physician with special expertise in cryotherapy. When treating lesions on the head, neck or ears in specialized care, the cosmetic and functional results and risk of recurrence should be carefully considered. Follow-up after cryotherapy is important.
