Summary:Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a malignant vascular tumor widely known as a complication of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) but also related to immunosuppression in renal transplants, and less frequently, to other diseases. We describe a case of KS in a patient affected by antisynthetase syndrome treated with steroids. El sarcoma de Kaposi (SK) es un tumor vascular maligno conocido fundamentalmente por ser una complicación del síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (sida), pero también asociado a inmunosupresión en trasplantados renales y, menos frecuentemente, en otras enfermedades. Se presenta un caso de SK en un paciente diagnosticado de síndrome antisintetasa en tratamiento con corticoides.
