Kaposi Sarcoma of the Nail Unit: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Kaposi sarcoma is an angioproliferative neoplasm. Its manifestations are well known but nail involvement seems extremely underreported. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> A 55-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of a growing subungual tumor affecting the third right toe. After surgical excision, histological examination revealed a Kaposi sarcoma. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> We report a case of Kaposi sarcoma with nail involvement of only one toe as the first and unique manifestation, which is exceptional.
