Abstract
|
|
|
|
Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a neoplastic, vascular tumor that involves the skin or internal organs. KS is an extremely common tumor in tropical Africa and it is also a prime marker of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). An isotopic response describes the occurrence of a new skin disorder on the site of another, unrelated and already healed skin disease. The most common cause of an isotopic response in the skin is the herpes zoster virus. We report here on a rather interesting case of Kaposi’s sarcoma distributed on a dermatome that was previously involved by herpes zoster.
