Sporadic Kaposi Sarcoma Following a COVID-19 Vaccine : Mere Coincidence or Something More?

Copyright © 2024, Martínez-Ortega et al..

In this case report, we present a distinctive occurrence of classic Kaposi sarcoma (KS) in an individual of Latin origin, emerging seven days following the administration of the third dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca) vaccine. The progression of KS continued over two months, culminating in the development of a tumor. Given the absence of prior reports on KS development post-COVID-19 vaccination, the primary aim of this report is to explore the potential relationship between the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine, reactivation of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus, and the subsequent onset of KS.
