SUMMARY Pseudo‐Kaposi's sarcoma developed on the skin overlying a vascular access graft in a haemodialysis patient. After spontaneous thrombosis within the graft, the cutaneous lesions promptly resolved. Light and electron microscopic study of the lesions failed to distinguish them from those of true Kaposi's sarcoma.
