Background: Kaposi sarcomais a low-grade malignant vascular lesion, which has different histological variants. Pyogenic granuloma-like Kaposi sarcoma is an unusual type of this tumor, which presents as anexophytic small nodule surrounded by an epidermal collaret mimicking pyogenic granuloma yet it has immunohistopathologic features of Kaposi sarcoma. Case Presentation: A 57-year old male with 2 exophytic lesions on the left hand and left foot for 3 months was presented to our center. Both lesions were excised and diagnosis of Kaposi sarcoma was confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Human herpesvirus 8 DNA was detected by the polymerase chain reaction in the lesions. Conclusions: Immunostaining methods should be considered in pyogenic granuloma-like lesions with unusual presentation.

“…international journals, and initially, these were reported as KSlike PG, which were considered benign tumors. 2,3 The clinical findings of PG-like KS usually show an exophytic, ulcerated and polypoid nodule, which easily bleeds, on the hand and foot. [2][3][4] Most patients with PG-like KS are men, older than 60 years and without HIV.…”

“…The demonstration of a positive result for HHV-8 is necessary for diagnosis of PG-like KS. [2][3][4] Pyogenic granuloma-like KS is not fully recognized by all dermatologists because it was recently categorized as a variant of KS. Unfortunately, distinguishing PG-like KS from PG by clinical findings only is very difficult; hence, histopathological examinations including HHV-8 staining are necessary to distinguish them.…”
