Kaposi's sarcoma, the most frequently affecting immunosuppressed patients, is the tumoral structure that is mixed with infectious, immunologic, and neoplastic processes. The tumor was first described as “Idiopathic Multiple Pigmented Sarcoma” by Moritz Kaposi. According to the biological behavior, Kaposi Sarcoma is located in the vascular tumors group with low malignant potential. The disease occurs more often in the transplant and immunosuppressed patients such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, affects mainly men in their fifth or sixth decades, and involves the low extremites. The tumor, that can present cutaneous lesions with or without internal involvement, has different clinical forms. In recent years, the pathological diagnosis of the tumor, which has several sub-types, is becoming increasingly important. We presented a sixty three years old male’s case, diagnosed with seldom seen pyogenic granuloma-like Kaposi’s sarcoma.
