Long Term Treatment

Lymphangioma-like Kaposi's sarcoma (LLKS) is a rare histologic variant of KS. Kaposi's sarcoma is also known as human herpesvirus type 8. The clinical presentation of the LLKS lesion is highly unusual and similar to that of classic KS but with multinodular vascular tumors and lymphedema. We present a 63-year-old native Haitian man with multiple slowly progressive exophytic ulcerated lesions covering more than 60% of his left lower extremity with no systemic involvement. Much confusion surrounded the clinical presentation of these wounds, and we postulated several differential diagnoses. Herein we describe the evaluation, clinical appearance, and progression of LLKS. Due to the rarity of LLKS, treating physicians need to be aware of the clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria of this variant. Despite being incurable, early diagnosis of LLKS can lead to long-term treatment options and a major reduction in symptoms.

This chapter reviews the important malignancies that are associated with HIV. It reviews the overall increase in incidence of malignancies seen in patients who live with HIV. The effect of the immune system on cancers is reviewed. Specific HIV-associated malignancies that are often associated with viral co-infection are discussed. Malignancies may present significantly differently in patients living with HIV. The chapter describes the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management, including treatment of Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and cervical and anal cancer. Castleman’s disease is also reviewed in this chapter. Chemotherapy and the effect of HIV and treatment of HIV is discussed.
