Resumen

El pseudosarcoma de Kaposi tipo síndrome de Stewart-Bluefarb es una entidad poco frecuente que presenta lesiones cutáneas semejantes clínicamente al sarcoma de Kaposi, secundarias a una comunicación arteriovenosa subyacente. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 24 años con unas lesiones cutáneas de crecimiento progresivo en el tercio distal de su pierna izquierda. La histología y la demostración de una comunicación arteriovenosa patológica confirmaron el diagnóstico de síndrome de Stewart-Bluefarb.

Abstract

Stewart–Bluefarb syndrome is a rare condition involving skin lesions that share clinical features with Kaposi sarcoma and that are secondary to an underlying arteriovenous fistula. We report the case of a 24-year-old man with progressive growth of skin lesions on the lower third of his left leg. Diagnosis of Stewart–Bluefarb syndrome was confirmed histologically and with detection of an arteriovenous fistula.
