 AB    We report two patients with ecchymotic patches that did not suggest the
       diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma. The principal complaint of one patient
       was facial and periorbital edema with bilateral periorbital ecchymosis.
       On his trunk were patches resembling pityriasis rosea-like Kaposi's
       sarcoma. Both types of lesions proved to be Kaposi's sarcoma on
       histologic examination. The second patient had scattered ecchymotic
       lesions, with typical lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma elsewhere on his body.
       The ecchymotic lesions showed a large amount of extravasated red blood
       cells and no evidence of amyloid. This variant has not been described
       previously to our knowledge.
