Kaposi sarcoma (KS) arises in the context of 4 epidemiologic-clinical settings: Classic, endemic, epidemic, and iatrogenic; the most serious types are endemic and epidemic, and visceral involvement occurs mostly in the latter. Several morphological variants of KS have been described, of which the anaplastic one is highly aggressive. We report the case of an anaplastic KS arising from the ascending colon in a 32-year-old human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive male patient with a 6-year history of multiple mucocutaneous KS.

Rarely, KS shows marked nuclear atypia or pleomorphism; such examples are known as "anaplastic" KS. This poorly characterized variant often pursues an aggressive course; little is known of its genetic landscape.

Anaplastic classic Kaposi sarcoma (CKS) is an extremely rare pathologic variant of CKS characterized by high aggressiveness and poor prognosis. We report the clinical course of this malignant histologic form in an otherwise healthy 67-year-old male from Apulia in Southern Italy. The anaplastic progression arose during a long history of CKS and developed after multiple local and systemic treatments.
