Summary:Kaposi`s sarcoma is a rare and slowly progressive disease that primarily affects the skin but has an associated visceral involvement. It can occur in the HIV-positive patients or patients treated with immunosuppressants. However, it is extremely rare in the patients receiving the treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. We used corticosteroid for the treatment of ulcerative colitis in 60-year-old woman. Then, Kaposis`s sarcoma occured in the skin and colon of the patient. Since she was HIV-negative, we believed that it was developed from the condition of corticosteroid-induced immunosuppression. We present a case of skin and colonic Kaposi`s sarcoma in a HIV-negative woman following treatment with corticosteroid for ulcerative colitis. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2004;43:316-319)
