Core Tip	We present a case of an elderly man, who initially presented with right facial nerve palsy, ipsilateral headache, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and no fever. A presumptive diagnosis of giant cell arteritis was made and the patient was started on high-dose steroids. Several months later, he presented with severe sensorimotor peripheral symmetric neuropathy. A biopsy of the macular skin lesions that had appeared almost simultaneously, was suggestive of Kaposi’s sarcoma. Although peripheral and cranial nerve involvement has not been reported in Kaposi’s sarcoma, we postulate that the patient’s condition could be attributed to that, within the context of a paraneoplastic process.
