Abstract:
A 24 year-old Korean male, has had an eruption on the Lt. foot for 3 years. The lesion consists of single large macule of reddish purplish brown coloration scattered over the great toe, dorsum and inner part of the Lt. foot. Recently, there is no new lesions and lymphadenopathy on any part of the body. Laboratory tests were all negative, including serology. X-ray findings of the chest and Lt. foot showed normal limits but, angiographic findings which was performed under the local anesthesia through the femoral artery showed the arterio-venous plexus and markedly increased vascularity on the inner side of Lt foot area. Biopsy of a macule on the inner part of the Lt. foot was confirmed as Kaposi's sarcoma. X-ray therapy (100Kv at 50cm distance with 2 mm of AL. filter) was directed to the involved sites daily for 6 days to a total of 1,800 roentogens, after lesion was progressively improved day by day.
