| Summary: | Kaposi sarcoma is an undisputed malignancy associated with a heightened relative risk after
transplantation. Similar to other causes of Kaposi’s sarcoma, cutaneous involvement is
typical in post-transplant patients; however, visceral involvement rarely occurs. We report a
rare case of de novo hepatic Kaposi’s sarcoma manifesting as an ill-defined infiltrative lesion
in the left lobe of the liver in a patient who was immunosuppressed for 9 months after
a kidney transplantation using ultrasonography, CT, MRI, and fluorodeoxyglucose-PET. |
