ABSTRACT

The case report of a 42 years patient is described who needed repeated treatment with prednisone and from that time on she began to present cutaneous lesions in both legs. After being evaluated by reumatology and dermatology specialists, she was referred to the Angiology Service, where a biopsy was taken (with the use of the hematoxylineosine stain) which results were compatible with a Kaposi´s sarcoma, attributable to steroids supply.
