“…Dantzig 13 first reported the occurrence of KS and polymyositis in 1974..Simeoni et al 14 reported a case of KS in a DM patient thought to be caused by immunosuppressive therapy; KS also occurred in an ASS patient after 2 months of glucocorticoid therapy without immunosuppressant drugs 15 . The number of glucocorticoid receptors increases in KS tissues, and glucocorticoids can induce HHV‐8 replication and activate the lytic cycle 16 . This may be one of the mechanisms underlying KS development after glucocorticoid administration.…”

Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is a type of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), which is characterized by the presence of antibodies against aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in serum, and is associated with multiple clinical syndromes. Clinical manifestations, serological indicators, and chest imaging findings differ for different clinical ASS subtypes. The association of myositis and cancer occurrence, in cancer-associated myositis (CAM), is well known. The correlation between myositis, cancer occurrence time, and CAM remission after cancer treatment indicates that in some cases, CAM might be a type of paraneoplastic myositis syndrome. 1 Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a vasoproliferative disease caused by human herpes virus (HHV)-8 infections, which is associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and immunosuppression. We report the first case of ASS complicated with KS during therapy in China, analyze its clinical characteristics, and review the relevant literature.

“…Although different variants according to the clinical patterns and epidemiological characteristics, the fact that histology findings are similar would suggest a common etiology [3] . The classical variant of Kaposi sarcoma occurs primarily as an indolent form in elderly people of mediterranean origin and affects mainly men [7] .…”

“…KS is classified in terms of four clearly differentiated variants: classic, endemic, AIDS-related and iatrogenic [3] . Classic KS is an uncommon disease that it has an overwhelming male predominance, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 10:1 to 15:1 [2] .…”

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angio-proliferative disorder and classified in terms of four clearly differentiated variants. Classic variant is an uncommon disease that it has an overwhelming male predominance and majority of cases patients are positive for HIV infections. We present HIV-negative female patient presenting multiple nodules on palmar and dorsal aspect of right wrist. Considering the male predominance of classic KS and positivity of HIV infections in majority of KS cases the patient presented to contribute to the literature.
