Cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma in a 67-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer: A clinical case report
Literature Review: Kaposi’s Sarcoma is a vascular tumor associated with Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), which typically occurs in immunocompromised individuals.
Case Report: We are reporting the case of a 67-year-old woman with a previous history of breast cancer who presented with multiple nodular purple lesions, in the brachial and femoral regions, 0.5-1 cm in di-ameter, for two months.
Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of Kaposi’s Sarcoma.
Conclusion: This case highlights the need to be aware of Kaposi’s Sarcoma as a potential secondary le-sion in cancer survivors, especially those treated with immunosuppressive therapies.
