Symmetrical lipomata Groschregards as of neuropathic origin. Lipoma of the scalp is very rare. Inthis locality the tumor is flattened and never becomes in localities where the skin is loose often become peduncu-lated. A neuropathic cause of symmetrical lipomata has been assumedby some. Madelung observed the growth of fatty tumors at theinsertion of the deltoid muscle following neuralgia and tremors whichoccurred in consequence of contusions. Li one of the two cases which. he reported the neuralgia disappeared after extirpation of the in 1890 described a case in which sciatic neuralgia attendedtwo pairs of lipomata, one on the trochanter major, of the size of thehead of a new-born child, and two smaller ones, of the size of a fist,on the inner side of the knee. Other tropho-ncurotic affections com-plicated the case. Targlowa recorded a case where symmetricallipomata, seven pairs, had developed in a man affected with The tumors occupied the neck, the zygomatic and mastoidprocesses, the subclavicular, the deltoid, and the sacral region of bothsides. Cases of the same nature are reported by Oldham, MacCormac,Hutchinson, C. Beck, and others. In Becks case the tumors occupiedthe neck, the parotid, and the mastoid regions on both sides. The LIPOMA. 403 writer has seen only one case of diffuse lipoma of the neck, and in thisinstance the swelling extended diffusely around the whol
