“…A tick bite has been reported in approximately half of the patients; the tick bite is usually at the site or in the vicinity of the later BL. The most common site for the development of lesions is the breast in adults, and the ear lobe in children [ 31 , 32 ]. The lesion is 1 to 5 cm in diameter and consists mainly of B lymphocytes [ 31 ].…”

The occurrence of skin lesions is the earliest symptom of Lyme disease, and the diagnosis of these lesions and appropriate treatment may prevent complications of the disease, which are mainly neurological. The cutaneous presentation in borreliosis is heterogeneous. There are typical lesions that constitute the basis for the diagnosis of Lyme disease, and atypical ones, which cause significant diagnostic difficulties especially when the patient does not remember the tick bite. This study aims to describe the heterogeneous skin symptoms of Lyme borreliosis, as well as offer a practical approach for the recognition of the disease. Based on pediatric cases from clinical practice, rare cutaneous presentations of Lyme disease at various stages of illness and therapy are presented. Diagnostic recommendations for recognizing individual forms are discussed.

“…The lesion is 1 to 5 cm in diameter and consists mainly of B lymphocytes [ 31 ]. It appears on the patient’s body from 1 to 10 months [ 31 ] after infection [ 32 ]. In the absence of appropriate treatment, the lesion may persist for months, and other manifestations of LB may follow.…”

“…All three cutaneous manifestations (EM, multiple EM and benign lymphocytoma) are generally clinical diagnoses and do not require confirmation by laboratory testing or biopsy. Culture of skin lesions is not part of routine clinical practice and sensitivity is less than 50% 22 24. Benign lymphocytomas are solitary skin lesions often found on ear lobes or near the nipples 25.…”

Lyme disease is a zoonotic infection caused by the spirocheteBorrelia burgdorferisensu lato which is transmitted to humans mainly by tick bites. The global incidence of Lyme disease is rising, and children are more frequently affected. The disease can manifest in various organs causing non-specific symptoms. The lack of sensitive and specific diagnostic tests makes the management of Lyme disease challenging. This article offers up-to-date clinical algorithms for the management of children with suspected or diagnosed Lyme disease.

“…Eit lymfocytom er ein benign, reaktiv, lymfoid hyperplasi som kan oppstå av ulike årsaker, mellom anna borreliainfeksjon (4). Borrelialymfocytom er kjenneteikna av ein hard, intradermal, raudblå nodulus, som oftast på øyreflipp hos barn og brystvorte hos vaksne, men det kan også utvikle seg på genitalia, thorax og ekstremitetar (3,4). Histologisk liknar det på arkitekturen i ein lymfeknute (4).…”
