RÉSUMÉ

A 54-year-old woman presented with angiomatous lesions located on the upper extremities and right cruris. Histopathological findings were typical of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). She had had mild to moderate psoriasis since she was 25 years old. She had been using cilazapril (an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) for the last 9 months. She had had similar lesions in the past while taking the same medication. Because our patient's KS lesions had developed during treatment with cilazapril, the drug was stopped. One month later, spontaneous regression of KS nodules was noted and after 4 months no KS lesions were seen.
