Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is an uncommon borderline vascular tumor involving mostly the cutaneous and mucosal sites of the body. Among the four distinctly clinicopathological presentations of KS, the iatrogenic form principally occurs in kidney transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. It rarely occurs in the head and neck region as primary site or in other groups of patients under immunosuppressive therapy.
