Giant exophytic mass as a rare presentation of Kaposi's sarcoma in a person living with HIV

Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common malignant tumor in people living      with HIV. It typically affects the skin, mucous membranes, and lymph nodes, with the most frequent clinical presentation being erythematoviolaceous papules on the lower limbs, trunk, face, and oropharyngeal mucosa, with slow and centripetal dissemination. Visceral involvement may occur, with the gastrointestinal tract being the most frequent extracutaneous location.

Evidence on atypical cutaneous presentations is limited in the literature. We present the case of a patient with a      rare presentation of Kaposi's sarcoma, a giant exophytic      mass resembling primary cutaneous lymphoma.
