Abstract
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a neoplasm of the endothelial cells. It often manifests with multiple vascular nodules on the skin and other organs. It is a systemic, malignant and multifactor disease and has a variable course. We describe an elderly Chinese man who had a rapidly growing maroon nodule on his right foot, both arms and cheekbones. KS in HIV-negative patients has only been reported sporadically.Entities:
