    Kaposi's sarcoma typically affects the skin but can present with lymph node involvement. This case highlights an indolent form in an immunocompetent patient without skin lesions, suggesting varied disease presentations.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a vascular neoplasm.
    • Typically presents as indolent skin lesions.
    • Aggressive forms occur in immunosuppressed individuals and young Africans.

    Observation:

    • A 64-year-old Italian man presented with diffuse lymph node involvement.
    • No cutaneous (skin) lesions were observed.
    • The patient showed no signs of immunosuppression.

    Findings:

    • The patient's Kaposi's sarcoma followed an indolent clinical course.
    • No disease progression was noted over a 2-year follow-up period.
    • The patient received no specific therapy for the condition.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of Kaposi's sarcoma.
    • Suggests that KS can present with lymph node involvement without skin lesions in immunocompetent individuals.
    • Highlights the importance of considering KS in the differential diagnosis of unexplained lymphadenopathy, even in the absence of typical skin findings.
