Abstract

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a highly vascular tumor arising from the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infected lymphatic endothelium. Worldwide, occasional cases of classic KS have been reported in children. [1],[2] Herein, we report an Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seronegative 11-year-old boy with a 3-year history of lesions, who was diagnosed as classic KS clinically and histopathologically.
