Kaposi’s Sarcoma with Type 2 Diabetes: A Case Report

This is a case report of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) in an HIV-negative patient with type 2 diabetes. An 84-year-old female patient presented to the hospital with lesions and yellow-brown-black colored painless papules on both feet and ankles and on the medial of the left leg that tended to connect with each other. The histopathology was confirmed as KS. The patient is screened for diseases that could suppress the immune system. The patient with HIV-negative KS has no known disease affecting the immune system other than type 2 diabetes and obesity. This raises the question of whether diabetes and obesity can be included in the group of immunosuppressive diseases.
