Partial Penectomy

The Authors report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma presenting on the glans penis only in a non-HIV positive patient, who had not been treated with immuno-suppressive drugs. In our experience and according to a review of specific literature, choice treatment would seem to be a radiotherapeutic approach followed by partial penectomy in the event of recurrence.

Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) occurs as a pathological entity that may be classified into four different types: classic, endemic, epidemic, and iatrogenic. It can arise among HIV-positive subjects or within immunosuppression, yet exceptionally of tuberculous origin. We describe a new case report of an HIV-negative patient, manifesting Kaposi’s disease in the course of tuberculosis, with the aim to assess this uncommon disorder and to outline this rare atypical association.

Antibody Levels

Although HIV-positive patients are at higher risk for developing a variety of infection-related cancers, the prevalence of infections with the seven known cancer-associated viruses has not been studied. Luciferase immunoprecipitation systems were used to evaluate antiviral antibodies in four 23-person groups: healthy blood donors and HIV-infected patients with oral hairy leukoplakia (OLP), Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Antibody profiling revealed that all HIV-positive individuals were strongly seropositive for anti-gp41 and antireverse transcriptase antibodies. However, anti-p24 HIV antibody levels were highly variable and some OLP and KS patients demonstrated weak or negative responses. Profiling two EBV antigens revealed no statistical difference in antibody levels among the three HIV-infected groups. A high frequency of KSHV infection was detected in HIV patients including 100% of KS, 78% of OLP, and 57% of NHL patients. Most HIV-infected subjects (84%) showed anti-HBV core antibodies, but only a few showed antibodies against HCV. MCV seropositivity was also common (94%) in the HIV-infected individuals and KS patients showed statistically higher antibody levels compared to the OLP and NHL patients. Overall, 68% of the HIV-infected patients showed seropositivity with at least four cancer-associated viruses. Antibody profiles against these and other infectious agents could be useful for enhancing the clinical management of HIV patients.

Traumatic Chylothorax

Chylothorax is a rare cause of pleural effusion, seen in approximately 2% of cases. In HIV-positive patients with Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS), the development of chylothorax presents as a diagnostic challenge with an aggressive course and poor, often lethal outcome. In this clinical scenario, the aetiology of chylothorax may include infections and malignancy, while pleural fluid examination and computed tomography of the mediastinum may fail to establish a cause. We present a case of KS-associated non-traumatic chylothorax resulting in death, and a review of available literature on this condition.

Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a locally aggressive multicentric mucocutaneous malignant neoplasm. The aim of this article is to report and discuss the immunohistochemical profile of a rare case of classic primary Oral Kaposi’s sarcoma presenting on the hard palate of a female patient which was non-HIV and was not immunocompromised.

This is a five-year retrospective study of 32 histologically diagnosed cases of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) who had undergone HIV antibody testing at the Jos University Teaching Hospital: 13 cases (40%) were HIV-negative. Multiple lesions were more common in HIV-positive cases and affected unusual sites such as the face, oropharynx, conjuctiva, vulva and rectum in addition to the limbs and trunk, which were more frequently involved in HIV-negative cases. This pattern of KS seen in Nigerian patients shows similarities with other African countries which have been affected by the HIV epidemic.
