[Vulvar pseudolymphoma: detection of infection by Borrelia burgdorferi using polymerase chain reaction].
We report on a 42-year-old patient with a vulvar pseudolymphoma in association with an infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. The diagnosis was made using PCR amplification on a paraffin-embedded tissue sample. The lesions healed completely within 3 weeks of oral doxycycline therapy.
