Pyogenic granuloma-like Kaposi sarcoma (PG-like KS) is an uncommon clinicopathologic variant of KS. This is a challenging entity to diagnose because it combines the clinical and histopathological characteristics of both PG and KS. Herein, we present a case of PG-like nodular-type KS with dermatoscopical and histopathological characteristics.
