AB We report the first case of limited cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma during
ulcerative colitis, in a HIV-negative 68 year-old man without any risk
factors for this tumor. In our case, the steroid-therapy necessitated by
the colitis is the most important aetiological factor of the sarcoma and
its withdrawal leads to a complete remission of the tumor. The link
between steroid-therapy and Kaposi's sarcoma is well known. A link
between ulcerative colitis and Kaposi's sarcoma can be discussed but not
proven. The possible occurrence of this cutaneous tumor during
ulcerative colitis is of interest.
