Abstract Kaposi’s sarcoma is an angioproliferative neoplasm that usually appears on the skin, but can also involve all organs and anatomic locations. The atypical manifestations of Kaposi’s sarcoma can mislead the diagnosis, which can result in a poor case management. The authors present a HIV-negative patient with Kaposi’s sarcoma with both usual and unusual locations such as the larynx, eyelids and bones. In the pre-therapeutic balance, we used NBI, which showed an intensely vascularized tumor in the larynx. The chosen method for treatment consisted in subtotal epiglotectomy performed under TransOral UltraSonic Surgery (TOUSS) approach. The use of TOUSS endoscopic surgery helped reduce the time of hospitalization, the patient did not need a nasogastric tube and was orally fed from the first postoperative day, with a better and faster functional recovery.

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.

This paper presents a case report of an HIV-negative, supraglottic Kaposi’s sarcoma patient. The 80-year-old male patient was admitted with complaints of hoarseness, difficulty in swallowing, and a stinging sensation in his throat for approximately six months. The endoscopic larynx examination revealed a lesion which had completely infiltrated the epiglottis, reached right aryepiglottic fold, was vegetating, pink and purple in color, multilobular, fragile, and shaped like a bunch of grapes, and partially blocked the bleeding airway passage. The case was discussed by the hospital’s head-neck cancer committee and a surgery decision was made. A tracheotomy was performed under local anesthesia before the operation due to respiratory distress and endotracheal intubation difficulty. Direct laryngoscopy showed that the mass was limited in the supraglottic area, had invaded the entire left aryepiglottic fold and one-third of the front right aryepiglottic fold, and completely covered epiglottis. It should be remembered that although rare, Kaposi’s sarcoma may be encountered in larynx malignancy cases. Disease-free survival may be achieved through local excision and postoperative radiotherapy.

Abstract Case Description: - A 76 year old lady was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) with 11 q deletion after she presented with generalized lymphadenopathy and anemia. She was treated with rituximab 375mg/m2 day1 and bendamustine 60mg/m2 on day 1 and day 2 and completed six cycles of treatment. After the sixth cycle she developed multiple itchy, papular lesions with bleeding on both lower extremities. She was evaluated multiple times by vascular surgery and dermatology without a definitive diagnosis. She underwent a biopsy with staining for HHV-8, CD31 and CD34 which was positive confirming the diagnosis of Kaposi sarcoma. ELISA test for HIV was negative. She was started on treatment with Doxorubicin 20 mg/m2every 3 weeks and with 3 cycles there was significant regression of the lesions. Discussion-: We describe a case of CLL which was initially started on treatment with rituximab and bendamustine. She tolerated the treatment well, but a few months later presented with skin lesions which on biopsy was diagnosed as Kaposi sarcoma. It is very uncommon for Kaposi sarcoma to develop in a HIV negative patient. This patient was immunocompromised with recent chemotherapy. Rituximab specifically depletes B cells and leads to impaired T cell mediated immunity. This case illustrates the importance of a high index of suspicion in patients treated with rituximab as it is used for a number of hematologic malignancies like leukemia, lymphoma as well as non-malignant conditions like autoimmune disorders. While infusion reactions and reactivation of hepatitis B are side effects physicians are aware of and cautious of while using rituximab, Kaposi’s Sarcoma remains a less known side effect. Awareness of this possibility is important in physicians prescribing rituximab. Footnotes * Asterisk with author names denotes non-ASH members.
