RESUMO
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) has attracted much attention recently because of its high incidence among patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Other groups with a high risk of developing KS are renal transplant recipients treated with immunosuppressive drugs and, to a lesser extent, patients with autoimmune diseases. We report the case of a patient who developed KS during corticosteroid therapy for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which subsequently regressed with combination chemotherapy.
