description Kaposi's sarcoma is a malignant disease that originates in the lymphatic endothelium. It has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Its four distinct clinical forms are: classic, endemic, iatrogenic and epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma. In non-HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma, the disease is typically limited to the lower extremities, but in immunodeficient patients, it is a multifocal systemic disease. The clinical course of the disease differs among patients, ranging from a single or a few indolent lesions to an aggressive diffuse disease. Advanced Kaposi's sarcoma lesions, typically those on the lower extremities, are often associated with lymphedema. In this paper, we report a case of a patient with a rare form of AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma called lymphangiectatic Kaposis's sarcoma.<br>O sarcoma de Kaposi &#233; uma neoplasia origin&#225;ria do endot&#233;lio linfatico, que apresenta um amplo espectro de manifesta&#231;&#245;es, com quatro formas cl&#237;nicas: sarcoma de Kaposi cl&#225;ssico, end&#234;mico, iatrog&#234;ncio e epid&#234;mico ou associado ao HIV. Em pacientes imunocompetentes, a doen&#231;a &#233; tipicamente limitada &#224;s extremidades. Por&#233;m em pacientes imunideprimidos, o sarcoma de Kaposi &#233; uma doen&#231;a sist&#234;mica multifocal. Apresenta cursos cl&#237;nicos diferentes, desde simples les&#245;es cut&#226;neas isoladas at&#233; les&#245;es agressivas e difusas, com ou sem envolvimento sist&#234;mico. Les&#245;es avan&#231;adas de sarcoma de Kaposi, principalmente as localizadas nas extremidades, podem apresentar linfedema. Neste trabalho, reportamos caso de paciente com forma rara de Sarcoma de Kaposi associado a Aids, chamada de sarcoma de Kaposi linfangiect&#225;sico.
