Abstract

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a rare tumour caused by human herpes virus 8. It is a systemic disease which can present with skin lesions with or without internal involvement. We are presenting here a case of classic subtype of KS in a 60-year-old male who presented with a 4-month history of nodular lesion over right hand.
