Metastatic Kaposi sarcoma in a non-HIV patient leading to metacarpal lysis then upper-limb amputation: a case report

We report the case of a HIV-seronegative 57 year-old man, with known classic Kaposi’s disease and in whom a secondary localization in the upper left limb led to carpal and metacarpal lysis in the left hand. This unfavorable local evolution led to left transhumeral amputation.
