Lymphocytoma cutis (LC) is one of the most common types of cutaneous B cell pseudolymphoma. Borrelial LC occurs most commonly in areas endemic for Ixodes ricinus tick in Europe, and it is rare in North America. The disease is rarely seen in India and may cause diagnostic difficulties for dermatologist residing in parts of the world that are not endemic for Lyme disease. The diagnosis is critical as LC may present as the only early manifestation of Lyme disease. Herein, we have presented a case of borrelial LC in an 11-year-old boy of German descent, residing in India.
皮肤淋巴细胞瘤(LC)是皮肤B细胞假性淋巴瘤最常见的类型之一。疏螺旋体性LC最常见于欧洲蓖麻硬蜱的流行地区,在北美则较为罕见。该疾病在印度很少见,可能会给居住在世界上非莱姆病流行地区的皮肤科医生带来诊断困难。由于LC可能是莱姆病的唯一早期表现,因此诊断至关重要。在此,我们报告了一例居住在印度的11岁德裔男孩的疏螺旋体性LC病例。
