Kaposi's sarcoma is a vascular tumor that affects the skin and other organs. Currently there are several therapeutic options to treat this condition, however, optimal therapy is not yet well established. Cryotherapy is an alternative that offers good results and few complications. It's a case of a 90-year-old male patient, with a clinical picture of approximately 12 months of evolution, with the presence of "brown spots" on both feet, which are exacerbated with heat and decrease with cold, asymptomatic and without previous treatment.
