Özet

Kaposi sarcoma is a vascular tumor associated with Human Herpes Virus-8 infections. Lesions

predominantly present at mucocutaneous sites but may involve all organs. There are many kinds of

Kaposi sarcoma variants. Pyogenic granuloma like Kaposi sarcoma is a new variant which

protrudes from skin and resembles a pyogenic granuloma. We decided to report two cases of

Kaposi sarcoma because there are only few case reports about pyogenic granuloma like Kaposi

sarcoma in literature, which is usually misdiagnosed as pyogenic granuloma.

Keywords: Human Herpes Virus-8, kaposi sarcoma, pyogenic granuloma
