A 34-year-old male with a history of peripheral vascular disease and multifactorial anemia presented with red blotches on his face, trunk, and extremities, multiple large bumps prominent on the lower extremities that burst at times with yellow pus and blood, swelling in the ankles, extremely dry feet, a chronic ulcer on the foot, and a dry, flaky, and irritated left middle finger. The patient was human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive, viral load undetectable. Endovenous laser ablation therapy was performed to correct venous insufficiency. A balloon was placed in the common iliac vein to treat May-Thurner syndrome. The bumps on the lower extremities were biopsied and found to be Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and were removed by both wide excisions and shave removals, and further treatment with doxorubicin was performed successfully. The foot ulcer was found to be positive for methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and was treated with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, metronidazole, and a chlorhexidine topical liquid. The patient noted that the treatments on his leg were working very well, and he was clearing up.
