Abstract

Pseudokaposi sarcoma can be congenital or acquired. Due to prolonged venous stasis, leads to peripheral tissue hypoxemia, which results in neovascularisation and fibroblast proliferation. Treatment includes rectification of the underlying pathology such as graded compression stockings or compression pumps for venous stasis and ulcer management with regular wound care. Medical management includes oral antibiotics, along with compression therapy with good results. Our patient presented mild lower limb pitting edema unilaterally with erythematous barely elevated plaque over the anterior aspect of the lower limb.
