Abstract

A 39 year old married heterosexual male presented with extensive purpuric macules, papules, and lichenoid plaques scattered over his skin and mucocutaneous surfaces for one year. The lesions were larger in both his groins, and were associated with lymphedema of his penis and scrotum. His serology for the HIV-1 virus was positive. Biopsies from multiple lesions confirmed the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma. Histochemistry was positive for the HHV-8 virus. He subsequently developed pulmonary and peritoneal effusions and died 3 months later of cardiopulmonary arrest.
