[Classic dissemination of Kaposi's sarcoma: report of a case].
An 86-year-old male presented with a disseminated dermatosis characterized by erythematous and violaceous papules and nodules of 0.5-1.0 cm in diameter. The upper and lower limbs were affected and lower limb edema was promiment. Upon histological examination the diagnosis of classic Kaposi's Sarcoma was confirmed. There is still controversy if Kaposi's Sarcoma is a true neoplasm, a proliferative reaction, or both.
