title: Kaposi's sarcoma in a steroid-treated antisynthethase antibody syndrome patient.
abstract: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a malignant vascular tumor widely known as a complication of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) but also related to immunosupression in renal transplants, and less frequently, to other diseases. We describe a case of KS in a patient affected by anti-synthetase syndrome treated with steroids.
