Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare inflammatory neoplasia originating from angiogenic vascular endothelial cells.1 Human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) is considered as a possible cause. KS is often observed in immunocompromised patients such as organ transplant or acquired immunodeficiency syndromes.2 However, although not typical immunosuppression occurs in uraemic patients, various immunologic abnormalities occur.3
