AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma or KS-AIDS presents with cutaneous lesions that begin as one or several red to purple-red macules, rapidly progressing to papules, nodules, and plaques, with a predilection for the head, neck, trunk, and mucous membranes.[1] KS-AIDS simulated the greatest interest as one of the first illnesses associated with AIDS. Different from the classic form of Kaposi sarcoma, KS-AIDS tumors usually appear on the head, back, neck, muscular palate and the area of the gingiva. In more advanced cases, they can be found in the stomach and intestines, the lymph nodes, and the lungs. KS-AIDS was first described in 1981 by three separate groups, most notably by Robert A. Schwartz and his collaborators at the University of Arizona.[2][3][4]
