Abstract

Two female patients with Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) are described. In one KS manifested by typical and bullous efflorescence. Bullous KS developed as a result of secondary immunosuppression, caused by a long course of systemic glucocorticoid hormone (metiprede) and immunosuppressant endoxane for systemic scleroderma.

Keywords
