Abstract:

HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma is one of the AIDS-defining conditions, indicating an advanced immune-suppressed state. AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma has rarely been reported, despite India having a high prevalence of HIV-AIDS. Here, we report a rare case of an HIV-tuberculosis co-infected Indian heterosexual male patient along with its histopathological and dermoscopic correlation. This report also targets the necessity of early diagnosis of KS in PLHA cases to start prompt treatment in managing such cases.
