ABSTRACTKaposi′s sarcoma is described as cutaneous and extracutaneous neoplasm predominantly affecting older individuals. Though earlier uncommon and endemic to certain African areas, its incidence is on a rise due to infections with human immunodeficiency virus and also due to transplant-associated immunosuppression. Further, certain benign conditions like Pseudo Kaposi′s sarcoma, certain infective conditions like bacillary angiomatosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome can mimic Kaposi′s sarcoma both clinically and histologically leading to a diagnostic dilemma. We report such a case here.

Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common neoplastic process in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Moreover, the occurrence of Kaposi's sarcoma in human immunodeficiency virus—infected patients advances their classification to having the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. We reviewed the medical records of 48 patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection who had Kaposi's sarcoma documented on their initial visit to the hospital. The onset of Kaposi's sarcoma occurred independent of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classification of human immunodeficiency virus infection (modified to exclude Kaposi's sarcoma). This neoplasm developed more frequently in patients who acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection by sexual contact (75% of cases), but manifestations were not significantly different in any of the risk populations for human immunodeficiency virus infection. Kaposi's sarcoma lesions were unpredictable and either showed progression, remained static, or occasionally, regressed spontaneously. Moreover, the lesions were usually multifocal at presentation, with the head and neck (62.5% of cases) as the primary site of involvement. In this region cutaneous lesions predominated (66.7%), followed by mucosal (56.7%) and deep structure (13.3%) involvement. The majority of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome Kaposi's sarcoma involving head and neck structures were asymptomatic (80% of cases). Mucosal lesions were associated with symptoms in 29.3% of cases, whereas cutaneous lesions had symptoms in 5% of cases.

Intestinal perforation in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients due solely to Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has rarely been described. A homosexual man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related KS who presented with an acute abdomen is presented. He was found to have a jejunal perforation through a small KS lesion. There were no infectious organisms identified at the site of perforation.

Case Basis

Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common malignant lesion in patients who test seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus. Although many cases of this tumor have been described in the literature, only a few cases have been related to Koebner's phenomenon following trauma. Biopsy of lesions remains the standard method of diagnosis, but the numerous treatment options available today require treatment to be determined on a case-by-case basis. The authors present an unusual case of trauma-induced, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related Kaposi's sarcoma of the hallux with successful treatment through radiotherapy.

Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Neoplastic disease is an increasing problem in adults with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Kaposi's sarcoma is the indicator disease in 9% and lymphoma in 3% of adult AIDS cases.1 Indeed, the estimated incidence rate of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) reaches almost 50% in adult patients who have survived for up to 3 years while receiving antiretroviral therapy and who have a CD4 count below 50 cells/mm3.2 Children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have also been treated and followed up for an extended period of time, but a similar increase in the incidence of malignancies has not yet been described. Through December 1990, only 17 children with NHL and 1 child with Kaposi's sarcoma as AIDS-indicator disease have been reported to the Centers of Disease Control.1

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that manifests in patients with the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), more prominently in the head, neck, and oral mucosal region. The diagnosis of this rare lymphoma serves as a concomitant diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The case is of a 33-year-old previously healthy male, with an unknown diagnosis of HIV with a painful right mandibular mass. He was subsequently diagnosed with PBL and HIV. This case of PBL illustrates the importance of linking a rare and potentially life-threatening diagnosis as a possible first manifestation of HIV.
