Abstract
To the Editor. —The illustration of a characteristic erythema migrans used in the article by Kaslow 1 first appeared in my 1984 article on Lyme disease. 2 The dark papular lesion at the periphery represents a fibroepithelial polyp, not the site of a possible tick bite. The erythema migrans lesion appeared on the left hip, measured 8 by 9 cm, and had been present for 7 days.
