Skin nodules in a young patient with HIV/AIDS.

AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a malignancy seen in patients with HIV/AIDS that results from unrestrained human herpesvirus 8 infection. It can have an atypical presentation and an aggressive clinical course in patients with uncontrolled HIV infection. We present an interesting case of AIDS-related KS with an atypical initial presentation with skin nodules and debilitating lymphoedema. Patient was successfully managed with supportive measures, antiretroviral therapy and systemic chemotherapy.
