I have a middle-aged woman with multiple symptomatic cutaneous leimyomata 
over the left neck. The lesions become painful whenever the skin is 
exposed to cold. They are biopsy proven. One of the plastic surgeons 
performed dermabrasion to the site but there was no improvement. 

Are there any useful options to pursue for (a) getting rid of the 
lesions, and/or (b) providing some symptomatic relief?

I wonder if iv lidocaine, either as a one time or intermittant dose in the
office, or, a self administered drip would work.  This would be based on
its therapeutic value in Dercum's Disease.
