Illustrating the relationship between Pathological Anatomy and Dermatology by means of a clinical case of Kaposi's Sarcoma. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.2  Epub 01-Abr-2023.

We present a clinical case of a patient seen in the Dermatology service due to a progressive giant cell tumour in the right calcaneus. Incisional biopsy shows endemic Kaposi's sarcoma without visceral involvement. The advanced stage of the disease led to the torpid evolution of the patient. The histopathological study established the accurate diagnosis of the tumour lesion, the biopsy was the auxiliary method that established the necessary link between the macroscopic and microscopic examination of the skin and the basic and clinical relationship between two disciplines: Pathological Anatomy and Dermatology.
