Abstract :
Kaposi sarcoma is a vascular tumor associated with Human Herpes Virus-8 infections. Lesionspredominantly present at mucocutaneous sites but may involve all organs. There are many kinds ofKaposi sarcoma variants. Pyogenic granuloma like Kaposi sarcoma is a new variant whichprotrudes from skin and resembles a pyogenic granuloma. We decided to report two cases ofKaposi sarcoma because there are only few case reports about pyogenic granuloma like Kaposisarcoma in literature, which is usually misdiagnosed as pyogenic granuloma.
