Article Synopsis
- Pseudo-Kaposi sarcoma (PKS) is a benign vascular condition resembling Kaposi's sarcoma, caused by arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and chronic venous insufficiency, characterized by reddish-brown papules and requiring histopathological differentiation for diagnosis.
- A case study presents an 83-year-old man with diabetes, who suffered from an ulcer on his second toe due to severe ischemia linked to an AVM and occlusion of the dorsalis pedis artery, resulting in a pathological diagnosis of PKS after skin biopsy.
- Although the initial ulcer healed, it recurred two years later, leading to infection; attempts to manage blood flow through procedures
Dermoscopy to differentiate clinically similar inflammatory and neoplastic skin lesions.

Institute of Dermatology, Santa Maria della Misericordia University Hospital, Udine, Italy -
Article Synopsis
- - Dermoscopy is a valuable imaging technique for dermatologists that helps distinguish between neoplastic (tumor-related) and inflammatory skin conditions, especially in tricky cases where they may appear similar.
- - A review of literature identified key dermoscopic features that can aid in differentiating 12 common challenging skin scenarios, such as distinguishing between Bowen's disease and psoriasis.
- - The study concludes that dermoscopy can significantly assist in differentiating between clinically similar skin lesions, improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.
Pseudo-Kaposi's Sarcoma: A Rare Case and Review.

Our report concerns a 72-year-old female patient who presented with nodular ulcers on her right lower extremity and foot for a duration of 5 months. Based on the results of a dermatological examination, histopathological examination of the lesions, and immunohistochemical findings, we were able to diagnose the patient with Mari-type pseudocaposi sarcoma. Further research allowed us to clarify the distinction between this type of sarcoma and Kaposi's sarcoma, which will be crucial in devising an effective treatment plan for the patient as we continue to monitor her progress during clinical supervision.

In dermatology, "pseudo" is often used as a prefix for entities resembling another standard condition, either morphologically or histopathologically. Correspondingly, "pseudotumor" is a term encompassing dermatological conditions which are not true proliferations, but either have a clinical resemblance to a known tumor (, Pseudokaposi's sarcoma is actually a non-neoplastic condition) or a histopathological resemblance to one (, pseudo-myogenic hemangioendothelioma named due to a histopathological resemblance between myocytes and tumor cells). Often such a nomenclature can create confusion and unnecessary alarm for both the physicians and the patients.
