Borrelial lymphocytoma--a historical case.

We here describe a patient with a tick bite in the areola mammae in 1953 followed by erythema migrans. Twenty years later, after another tick bite in the axillary skin, also followed by erythema migrans, a large lymphatic infiltrate developed in the mammary skin, when the margin of the erythema reached the areola. The infiltrate resolved within a year without any therapy.
