Case Description

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in the United States is prevalent in Eastern European or Mediterranean males. KS in HIV-negative patients is becoming increasingly prevalent and should not be limited to the 4 subtypes: classic, endemic, iatrogenic immunosuppression, and epidemic. We present a rare pedal presentation of KS in an immunocompetent, HIV-negative man who has sex with men (MSM) and was followed for 12 months. The prevalence of KS in HIV-negative MSM is slowly rising and fits into the rare, fifth subtype.
