In HIV-infected patients with AIDS the most frequent malignancies are Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In these patients, the natural history of these tumors is quite different from those of HIV-negative subjects. These tumors may present atypical clinical aspects, may be very aggressive, and the coexistence of immunosuppression and opportunistic infections may render their treatment more difficult. The aim of this article is to provide updated information on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, natural history, and management of tumors that develop in the oral cavity of patients with AIDS.

Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common malignancy seen with HIV infection. It is a lymphoangioproliferous tumor first described by Moritz Kaposi in 1872. It is characterized by bluish red or dark brown plaques and nodules, especially in the distal of the lower extremities, often the heels and feet. Organ involvement without skin findings is observed in approximately 15% of the cases. There are four clinical variants, the classical, endemic, iatrogenic and the epidemic associated with AIDS. Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS cases apart from the skin, it can also be seen in the oral cavity, gastro-intestinal system and respiratory system. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) should be started immediately in newly diagnosed HIV infected patients. In this research, a 65 year old male patient, who was diagnosed AIDS and Kaposi's sarcoma at the same time, is described.
