Multiple angiolipomata treated with intravenous infusions of lignocaine.
A 54-year-old woman with multiple tender angiolipomata was treated with intravenous infusions of lignocaine (5 mg/kg) in saline in a double-blind trial. The pain disappeared but reappeared gradually 3 weeks later. Central mechanisms may explain the mode of action of lignocaine. Infusions should be carried out during cardiac monitoring.
