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.

Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common malignancy seen with HIV infection. It is a lymphoangioproliferous tumor first described by Moritz Kaposi in 1872. It is characterized by bluish red or dark brown plaques and nodules, especially in the distal of the lower extremities, often the heels and feet. Organ involvement without skin findings is observed in approximately 15% of the cases. There are four clinical variants, the classical, endemic, iatrogenic and the epidemic associated with AIDS. Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS cases apart from the skin, it can also be seen in the oral cavity, gastro-intestinal system and respiratory system. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) should be started immediately in newly diagnosed HIV infected patients. In this research, a 65 year old male patient, who was diagnosed AIDS and Kaposi's sarcoma at the same time, is described.
