Abstract
Kaposi sarcoma is a rare, systemic, multicentric and slowly progressive tumor located at the lower extremities, commonly in feet and heels and characterized with blue-red skin nodules. Although it is seen as a solitary lesion, it is commonly in the form of diffused superficial skin lesions. We are presenting a 84 years-old female patient with a painless, black-purple lesion at her foot pad that has been reported as Kaposi sarcoma after biopsy. The case is interesting as the patient was HIV negative and exhibited a regression without treatment.
