Kaposis sarcoma(KS) is a multicentrically developing vascular neoplasm with four types of clinical manifestation. One of these, classic KS is clinically carmcterized by late onset, chronic course and radiosensitive. We report a case of classic KS in a 72-year-old male. This pateint complainted of purple patches and dark purple nxluk. on slightly edematous lower legs. The histopathologic sections from the lesional sites showed infiltration of spindle cells with newly formed vascular slits, dilated blood vessels and aggregated hemosiderins in the dermis.

A case report of a 60 year-old man with lichen aureus of leg is presented. Clinically the solitary golden to purple colored patch consists of lichenoid papules, plsque, and mild petechiae around the lesion, and the histology reveals a dense and bandlike infiltrate hugging thepidermis. It consists of lymphocytes, histiocytes, eosinophils, and many extravasated erythrocytes and hemosiderin in dermis, but a few red cells and increased melanin pigment can also be seen in the epidermis. The eruption is mildly itchy and has been present 6 months.

Cutaneous metastasis of the papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) is very rare. We report a case of PTC that metastasized to the left fourth fingertip. Its cutaneous appearance was similar to granuloma pyogenicum. A 65-year-old woman who has PTC with regional lymph nodes involvement and pulmonary metastasis complained of a protruding hemorrhagic subungual mass on the left fourth finger for two months. The histopathologic findings showed papillary projections of the tumor cells surrounding the axial fibrovascular stroma and mitotic cells. The tumor cells showed a positive reaction with antithyroglobulin antibody in immunoperoxidase stain. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of PTC that metastasized to the fingertip, and that showed granuloma pyogenicum-like cutaneous lesion at the metastatic site.
