We present the case of a woman with a history of type 2 DM and an atypical lesion on the cheek compatible with Kaposi's saracoma. KS is a low-grade vascular tumor caused by infection with human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV8), clinically it presents as pink or purpuric macules, papules, plaques and nodules, of progressive growt, with a more frequent location on the lower limbs. A statistical correlation has been established between diabetes or hyperglycemia and an increased risk of developing this tumor.
