A 39‐year‐old man had pseudo‐Kaposi sarcoma on his left foot. A biopsy specimen obtained from a cutaneous lesion showed increased numbers of vascular spaces, proliferation of fibroblast‐like spindle cells, and deposition of hemosiderin in the dermis. Immunohistochemically, proliferative fibroblast‐like spindle cells around the vessels were positive for anti‐factor XIIIa antibody. Excessive heat radiation was detected from the skin lesions by thermography.
