CLASSIC KAPOSI'S SARCOMA (KS) IS A RARE INDOLENT cutaneous malign proliferative disease affecting predominantly elderly men of Mediterranean and Jewish origin. Treatment of disseminated disease can be difficult.
This case report presents a 78-year-old woman with disseminated cutaneous classic KS who was successfully treated with single agent vinblastine. Vinblastine is very effective, less toxic and less costly in the treatment of elderly patients with disseminated classic KS.
