Abstract

Classical Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) typically affects elderly men of Mediterranean and Jewish origin. We present an unusual case of classical KS in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative elderly farmer from rural Nigeria. He had multiple brownish nodules and plaques on both lower extremities associated with lymphoedema. Histopathological examination of a biopsy of the skin nodule confirmed the diagnosis of KS. The lesions only showed marginal improvement on chemotherapy which necessitated a referral for radiotherapy. There is a need to look beyond the traditional geographical distinction of KS variants as we continue to experience a dynamic role for environmental co-factors in the development of KS.
