ABSTRACT
The association of classic Kaposi's sarcoma with other neoplasm(primary or secondary) may serve as a clinical indicator for altered immunologic surveillance mechanisms. The association have been discussed for several decades. But the association of Kaposi's sarcoma with pancreatic cancer has not been reported. We report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma associated with pancreatic cancer in a 79-year-old man, who had tender papules and plaques on the left hand. The histopathologic findings showed typical features of Kaposi's sarcoma as a dermal tumor composed of vascular proliferations, vascular slits, spindle cells, extravasated erythrocytes and deposits of hemosiderin.
