Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma is a vascular lesion of intermediate-grade malignant potential affecting skin, mucosa, lymph nodes, and viscera. Four clinical variants have been recognized: classic, African Kaposi sarcoma, immunosuppression-associated Kaposi sarcoma and AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma. Human herpes virus type 8 is implicated as the etiological agent in all of them. We present a 39-year-old man with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis under treatment, and two months of evolution HIV / AIDS, with a lympangiomatous Kaposi sarcoma in an atypical location. Keywords: Kaposi's sarcoma; HIV; HHV-8; vascular neoplasia; lymphangioma-like Kaposi sarcoma.
