| Summary: | A 32 years old female presented with a single asymptomatic lesion on right thigh since 5 years. On examination, a single ill defined, irregular hyperpigmented plaque was present on medial aspect of right thigh. The plaque was firm in consistency and was non-tender. No scaling was evident. Clinically a differential diagnosis of Hansen’s disease, lupus vulgaris and deep fungal infection were made. The histopathology interestingly showed features suggestive of Kaposi’s sarcoma. The patient was HIV negative and otherwise completely asymptomatic. |
