Abstract:
We present the case of a patient under corticosteroid therapy (Deflazacort) developing a cutaneous Kaposi's Sarcoma. In a latter study performed due to the presence of digestive syndrome, a gastric Kaposi's sarcoma was detected. We review the cases published in the literature of patients with rheumatoid pathology under corticosteroid therapy.
