Classical Kaposi's Sarcoma in a Nigerian Farmer: A Case Report/Nijeryali Bir Ciftcide Klasik Kaposi Sarkomu: Vak'a Takdimi

Classical Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) typically affects elderly men of Mediterranean and Jewish origin. We present an unusual case of classical KS in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative elderly farmer from rural Nigeria. He had multiple brownish nodules and plaques on both lower extremities...

description Classical Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) typically affects elderly men of Mediterranean and Jewish origin. We present an unusual case of classical KS in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative elderly farmer from rural Nigeria. He had multiple brownish nodules and plaques on both lower extremities associated with lymphoedema. Histopathological examination of a biopsy of the skin nodule confirmed the diagnosis of KS. The lesions only showed marginal improvement on chemotherapy which necessitated a referral for radiotherapy. There is a need to look beyond the traditional geographical distinction of KS variants as we continue to experience a dynamic role for environmental co-factors in the development of KS.
