A case of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma involving subcutaneous tissues beyond the visible skin lesions is reported. In this case, the tumor was thallium avid. Thallium scintigraphy was able to demonstrate the true extent of the tumor and may be used to document the presence and extent of cutaneous and extracutaneous AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma.
