ABSTRACT
Kaposi's sarcoma is a neoplasm of multifocal origin which manifests primarily as vascular nodules in the skin and other organs. Kaposi's sarcoma in iatrogenically immunocompromised patients is the result of immunosuppressive therapy in organ-transplant recipients, autoimmune disease patients and cytotoxic chemotherapy in cancer patients. We report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma in a 50-year-old man who developed well-defined purple-colored papules and plaques on both hands and feet after prednisolone treatment for underlying membranous glomerulonephritis. The histologic finding showed abnormally proliferated and dilated vessels, vascular slits, spindle-shaped cells and extravasated erythrocytes in the dermis. He was treated with cryotherapy, and the dosage of prednisolone was reduced. Improvement was seen in 6 weeks
