Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 80-year-old man was admitted due to painful paresthesia and weakness on four extremities for three months. We diagnosed chronic progressive sensorimotor polyneuropathy of unknown cause and empirically treated with oral steroid. Six-weeks later, pruritic and erythematous papules and plaques were observed on his forearms and feet, the pathologic findings by skin biopsy were compatible with Kaposi's sarcoma. We suggest that progressive sensorimotor polyneuropathy of the patient could be attributed to Kaposi's sarcoma within the context of paraneoplastic process.
