Borrelial lymphocytoma cutis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2109619506

Borrelial lymphocytoma cutis is a form of cutaneous Lyme borreliosis seen principally in Europe and most commonly linked to Borrelia afzelii. It typically presents as a solitary nodule or plaque, usually located on the earlobe in children and on the areola of the breast or on the genitals in adults. It is characterised histologically by a dense dermal infiltrate of B-lymphocytes.
