Abstract
|
|
|
|
Kaposi’s sarcoma is one of the important features of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, renal transplanted patients, young African men, and elderly Ashkenazi Jews. It is well recognized as the most common malignancy asssociated with AIDS and there is also an increased incidence among patients with iatrogenic immunosuppression secondary to renal transplantation. However, a few cases of Kaposi’s sarcoma in mmunosuppressed patients not related to the renal transplantation had been reported. In this study, we present a case of Kaposi’s sarcoma involving the oropharynx and the skin of a patient who was not associated with AIDS nor treated with special immunosuppressive agents for renal transplantation.
