Abstract

Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma is a self-limiting angioproliferative disease that is similar to Kaposi's sarcoma in its clinical and histopathological features. Acroangiodermatitis of Mali is characterized by purple-black macules, papules and plaques on the lower extremities, mainly on the dorsal aspect of the feet and ankles that arise as a result of chronic venous insufficiency. Herein, we report two cases of acroangiodermatitis of Mali, and review the literature.
