A Case of Kaposi's Sarcoma Manifested with Unilateral Multiple Cutaneous Lesions after Renal Transplantation / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Kaposi's sarcoma(KS) is a multicentric vascular neoplasm involving the skin or internal organs. Cutaneous manifestations are usually present with multiple papules or plagues, either diffusly or bilaterally. The cases showing multiple cutaneous lesions on unilateral portion of body are unusual. We report a case of KS occurring in an allogeneic renal recipient, whose multiple discrete papulonodular lesions localized on the left lower leg. Because of unusual distribution of cutaneous lesions, we observed the clinical progression of present case on the basis of long term follow-up.
