Summary A 54‐year‐old woman with multiple lender 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 he carried out during cardiac monitoring.
