| Summary: | Kaposi sarcoma (KS), first described in 1872, is a angioproliferative neoplasm that often presents with red-purple macules in the skin. This report is of a case of classic/iatrogenic form of KS in a 79-year-old male, that had a prolonged hospitalization due to surgical complications. After discharge, he presented a red-purple macule. A biopsy was made and KS was confirmed. He was HIV negative. The patient did not required any other treatment asides of total removal of the lesion.
