<i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>‐associated cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma: a clinicopathological study of two cases illustrating the temporal progression of <i>B. burgdorferi</i>‐associated B‐cell proliferation in the skin

Abstract

These results show that, at least in some instances, PCBCL arises from chronically stimulated lymphoid tissue acquired in the skin in response to B. burgdorferi infection. This may have significant therapeutic implications and warrant further studies on the extent of this association.
