Summary Periarticular fibrous nodules have been described in patients with late‐phase acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA) in the setting of Lyme borreliosis. We report the clinical and histopathological study of two patients with periarticuiar fibrous nodules and with Lyme borreliosis and discuss the relationship between these nodules and ACA.
