    Abstract

    The morphologic unit of the disease process currently referred to as Kaposi's sarcoma consists of a complex growth of vascular channels and mesenchymal cells of various types and in different phases of differentiation. Kaposi's sarcoma, with its characteristic skin lesion, is an entity familiar to the pathologist and dermatologist. This case report represents an unusal bone cortex involvement of Kaposi's sarcoma with skin lesion in a lower extremity, which has survived for 26 years without no specific abnormality in laboratory study and no specific clinical change.
