Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare disease in the community. It was first described in 1872 as an idiopathic, multipigmented sarcoma of the skin [1]. It is a vascular or lymphatic-focused tumor type originating from the endothelium, caused by Human Herpes Virus 8 (HHV8), called KS-associated herpes virus (KSHV) [2]. There are 4 clinical subtypes of the disease. These are: Classical KS, African endemic KS, iatrogenic KS, and AIDS-related (epidemic) KS. It usually occurs with pink-red patch and blue-purple-black nodule, polyp or plaques. Most of the cases in classical KS are over 50 years old. Although the female/male ratio varies between studies, it is more common in males [3]. Here, a neglected case of Classic KS is presented.
