- Abstract
This article presents information on case study of skin diseases. The case study describes an 86-year-old male who was presented to the dermatology clinic with a consultation request stating please evaluate atypical tinea present for a few years. The patient states that both his feet are always itchy, especially the distal dorsum. This case graphically demonstrates that a patient can have more than one dermatologic condition at the same site. Fortunately, it is rare for a patient to have two distinct dermatologic conditions at the same site but it would have been detrimental to this patient's future health to not establish the diagnosis of Kaposi sarcoma.
