BACKGROUND: Extracutaneous involvement is rare in the classical form of Kaposi sarcoma (KS). OBSERVATION: We report a case of bone involvement revealed by bone pain. Magnetic resonance (MR) images demonstrated the local invasion of bone from cutaneous lesions. Bone biopsy confirmed bone involvement. The patient was treated with vindesine. Bone pain progressively disappeared. CONCLUSION: Bone involvement has rarely been reported in classical KS though 4.5% of the patients were affected when it was systematically sought. Treatment of symptomatic lesions requires radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
