Early after the introduction of cryosurgery to clinical practice, there were reports of metastasis regressing after cryosurgery of a primary tumour, mainly prostate and breast cancer, suggesting a systemic immunological effect to a local reaction. Colleagues within dermatology have occasionally experienced similar systemic effects following cryosurgery. However, published reports of such cases are lacking. In this case, we report a photographed distant resolution of an actinic keratosis (AK) on 68-year-old woman's arm following cryosurgery of another AK on the same arm.
