Short Communication: Pseudo-Kaposi sarcoma and extensive skin ulceration in a patient of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome

Sir, pseudo-kaposi sarcoma is a rare selflimiting disorder that can be congenital or acquired. the patients develop brown macules, violaceous or purplish nodules and plaques which become verrucous or ulcerate. pseudo- kaposi sarcoma has been reported in patients who had chronic venous insufficiency, paralyzed extremities, amputation stump, procedures of arteriovenous vascular fistula for hemodialysis and suction-socket lower limb prosthesis. there are also reports claiming minor traumas as a cause of pseudo-kaposi sarcoma. intractable cutaneous ulcers may complicate klippel- trenaunay syndrome. we report a case of klippel-trenaunay sundrome with extensive ulcerations developing in the port-wine stain and a solitary pseudo-kaposi sarcoma.
