This report describes the case of a young man who developed Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) after corticosteroid treatment for severe tracheal involvement of relapsing polychondritis (RP). The etiopathogenetic mechanisms that may have led to the evolution of this unusual neoplasm are discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported of concomitant RP and KS.
