Botriomycome-like Kaposi disease is a rare clinical and pathological variant of Kaposi disease. Showing features of pyogenic granuloma (PG) and of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), it was initially named KS-like PG and considered benign.[2] It is now considered a true KS and was renamed PG-like KS due to the clinical course and the presence of human herpes virus-8 DNA.[13],[14] This entity has been mostly described on the lower extremities, but other rare locations such as hand, nasal mucosa, and face have been reported in the literature.[1],[3],[4] The location on the ear in an immune-competent field, like in our patient, is a very rare finding, and very few cases have been reported in the literature.[5]
