Abstract

We report herein a 82-year-old male patient having pruritic purple or violaceous grouped papules and nodules based on the dark bluish plaques of a 5-year duration on both dorsa of the feet and toes. Also he complained of moderate-degree pitting edema and varicose veins for 30 years on both lower legs. We diagnosed his skin lesion as Mali variant of pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma probably caused by chronic lymphedema and venous insufficiency.
