Classic Kaposi's sarcoma is a multicentric neoplastic tumor of endothelial cell origin and has a relatively benign course even if extracutaneous sites are involved. We report a case of classic Kaposi's sarcoma of a 68-year-old man who had tender, reddish nodules and purplish papules and macules on the right sole. The biopsy specimen showed typical findings consistent with Kaposi's sarcoma such as endothelial cell proliferation, spindle cells forming slit like spaces occupied by red blood cells and positive staining with CD 34 antibody in the endothelial cells. The patient was treated with six million units of interferon alfa three times per week for 6 months. Four months after a 6 month treatment course, histopathological findings on the resolving lesion didn't show any evidence of Kaposi's sarcoma.

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a lympho-angioproliferative disease, with four variants; one of which is classical KS (CKS). Classical KS is clinically characterized by single or multiple pea-sized bluish-red macules on the distal portions of the lower extremities. A 60-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic, solitary patch on the left sole. He had been successfully treated for the classical type of Kaposi sarcoma on the right sole with interferon-alpha 3 years before. The patient was treated with six million units of interferon-alpha three times per week for 6 months. The lesion showed complete resolution and there has been no report of recurrence for 1 year after treatment.

A 13-month-old boy had irregularly shaped, erythematous to dusky red, slightly raised patches and plaques on the left antecubital fossa and arm for 7 months. The lesions were firm and tender. Histopathologically the lesion consisted of small, circumscribed, angiomatous tufts and lobules with a cannonball appearance scattered throughout dermis, a characteristic feature of tufted angioma. For 15 weeks, interferon-a intralesional injections have been performed and the lesions showed an improvement.
