Acroangiodermatite (pseudo-sarcoma de Kaposi)

Acroangiodermatitis is a very rare disease. It is characterized by erythematous violaceous cutaneous lesions, localized mainly in the legs and feet, resembling Kaposi's Sarcoma. A case is presented of a female, 57 years old presenting erythematous-violaceous lesions in both legs. She also presented varices, reticularis livedo and venous stasis. The clinical and histopathological lesions resembled Kaposi's Sarcoma. The immunohistochemistry (CD-34) confirmed the diagnosis. This is the first case observed in Brazil.
