Article Abstract

Borrelial pseudolymphoma, more commonly known as Borrelia lymphocytoma and previously also as lymphadenosis benigna cutis, is a rare manifestation of Lyme borreliosis, which occurs nearly always in children after an infection caused by Borrelia afzelii; this pathogen is transmitted exclusively by the Ixodes ricinus tick in our region. The most common body locations of this lymphocytoma include the earlobe, scrotum, nipples and the areomamillary complex. Therefore, the case of our patient was unexpected and quite rare. The aim of this article is to point out the high incidence of Lyme disease and its atypical manifestations which can be cured without surgical intervention in most cases. The authors describe the case of a 58-year-old healthy female patient with a very rare manifestation of Lyme disease.
