El sarcoma de Kaposi linfangiomatoso es una variante clínica rara del sarcoma de Kaposi. Tiene la característica de presentarse como cavidades con contenido líquido que muchas veces se confunden con enfermedades ampollares de la piel. Presentamos un paciente masculino con antecedente de infección por VIH asociado a sarcoma de Kaposi clásico, diseminado a nivel pulmonar, gastrointestinal y cutáneo. Tras dos ciclos de quimioterapia mejoró el compromiso sistémico, pero comenzó con ampollas en ambos muslos, por lo que junto con estudios clínicos y estudios complementarios se llegó al diagnóstico de sarcoma de Kaposi linfangiomatoso.
Lymphangiomatous Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare clinical variant of Kaposi's sarcoma. It has the characteristic of appearing as cavities with liquid content that are often confused with blistering skin diseases. We present a male patient with a history of HIV infection associated with classic Kaposi's sarcoma, disseminated to the pulmonary, gastrointestinal and skin levels. After two cycles of chemotherapy, the systemic involvement improved but she began with blisters on both thighs, from which, together with clinical studies and complementary studies, a diagnosis of lymphangiomatous Kaposi's sarcoma was reached.
