title: A case of Kaposi sarcoma mimicking nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
abstract: Kaposi sarcoma is a neoplasm commonly seen in HIV patients. Cutaneous lesions may vary in presentation between patients. In AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma, small red papules or nodules initially present on the face, especially on the nose, and the trunk, that then rapidly spread to other areas. We present an unusual case of AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma mimicking nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
