Kaposi's disease represents a multifocal endothelial proliferation which may involve several organs, but most frequently it is associated with skin lesions. There have been described four different clinical variations of this disease, each with its own symptoms, epidemiology and evolution. One of these forms develops in immunosuppressed patients who undergo systemic therapies, such as Prednisone, calcineurin inhibitors or chemotherapy. It is unanimously accepted that HHV-8 infection is the main etiologic factor for Kaposi's disease. Kaposi's disease due to iatrogenic immunosuppression is characterized by violaceous skin lesions which appear during systemic immunosuppressive therapy (such as oral corticosteroids). The disease usually progresses at a slow rate and it may resolve itself spontaneously in early stages or by removing the immunosuppressive therapy. We present the case of a patient with Kaposi's disease due to corticosteroid treatment administered for bullous pemphigoid
