Re: Treatment for lipoma?

I am excited to read about how this doctor injected iodine, probably Lugol's into a spinal lipoma to have it diminish markedly in size.

Lipoma and Spina Bifida -- The baby before us is four months old and has a tumor in the sacral region which raises the question of diagnosis between, especially, spina bifida and lipoma. In this connection you will recall two or three cases of spina fibida shown here the past few months, and one in particular in which we injected a solution of iodine, iodide of potassium and glycerine, with the result that the tumor diminished markedly in size. The diagnosis was not difficult to make in that instance except for one who, because of the rarity of the disease, had not seen many cases.
