Keywords:
HIV, SARCOMA, KAPOSI.Abstract
Introduction: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) represents one of the main public health problems in the world and favors the development of treatment-resistant dermatological conditions such as opportunistic infections and malignant tumors.
Objective: to present a case of Kaposi's sarcoma in a young patient diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
Case presentation: 32-year-old, white, male patient diagnosed with HIV infection for 8 years, with inadequate control of his disease, who attended a dermatological consultation for presenting skin lesions that had spread rapidly, in the form of raised plaques of variable size, brownish or erythematous-violaceous, with no associated subjective symptoms. The diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma is suspected on clinical grounds and confirmed by histopathology. The patient was treated with antiretroviral therapy and chemotherapy, a few weeks later he developed complications with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and died.
Conclusions: Adherence to antiretroviral therapy and adequate follow-up and control of the patient living with HIV/AIDS is essential to reduce the incidence of opportunistic infections and diseases that can accelerate the fatal outcome.
