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. 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. 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. 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..
葡萄状真菌样卡波西病是卡波西病一种罕见的临床和病理变体。它具有化脓性肉芽肿（PG）和卡波西肉瘤（KS）的特征，最初被命名为KS样PG并被认为是良性的。由于其临床病程以及人疱疹病毒8型DNA的存在，现在它被认为是一种真正的KS，并被重新命名为PG样KS。该实体大多在下肢被描述，但文献中也报道了其他罕见部位，如手部、鼻黏膜和面部。像我们的患者这样在免疫功能正常区域的耳部发病是非常罕见的发现，文献中报道的病例极少。
