Abstract

Objective: Classic Kaposi’s sarcoma is an indolent, angioproliferative tumor that is usually observed in the lower extremities of elderly men. Depending on their stages, skin lesions are maculonodular or vegetative ulcerated masses. Visceral organ or lymph node involvement may rarely occur. There is no gold standard treatment for local diseases. Surgical excision, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and cryotherapy can be performed. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the long-term results of surgical excision and skin graft repair of stage I and II classic Kaposi’s sarcoma skin lesions around the foot and ankle.Material and Methods: Eleven patients were included. The patients’age and gender, location of lesion, surgical treatment, follow-up period, and recurrence were evaluated by retrospectively examining patient records. For the surgical treatment, the lesion was excised with a 0.5-cm safe skin margin. The defect area was repaired with full-thickness skin grafts that were obtained from the inguinal region in all patients. Results: Eight of the patients were male and three were female. The average age of the patients was 69 (54–84) years. All patients were completely cured. The average follow-up period was 1.8 (1–3) years. No recurrence was observed in any of the patients at the end of the follow-up period. Conclusion: Classic Kaposi’s sarcoma skin lesions in the lower extremity can be completely cured by surgical excision, with no recurrence risk. After surgical excision, using a full-thickness skin graft for repairing primary cutaneous defects, particularly those in the soles, is a simple and reliable method.

Özet

Amaç: Klasik Kaposi sarkomu genellikle ileri yaşlı erkeklerde alt ekstremitelerde görülen yavaş seyirli, anjiyoproliferatif bir tümördür. Deri lezyonları evresine göre makülonodüler ya da vejetatif ülsere kitleler şeklindedir. Nadiren viseral organ ya da lenf nodu tutulumu olabilir. Lokal hastalığın tedavisinde altın standart yoktur. Cerrahi eksizyon, radyoterapi, kemoterapi, kriyoterapi kullanılabilmektedir. Bu retrospektif çalışmanın amacı, ayak ve ayak bileği çevresinde deri lezyonları olan Evre I ve II klasik Kaposi sarkomu lezyonlarının cerrahi eksizyonu ve deri grefti ile onarımının uzun dönem sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 11 hasta dâhil edildi. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, lezyonun yeri, yapılan cerrahi tedavi, takip süresi ve nüks durumu retrospektif olarak hasta dosyaları incelenerek değerlendirildi. Cerrahi tedavide lezyon 0,5 cm güvenlik deri sınırı ile birlikte eksize edildi. Oluşan defekt tüm hastalarda kasıktan alınan tam kalınlıkta deri grefti ile onarıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 11 hastanın sekizi erkek, üçü kadın idi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 69 (54-84) idi. Hiçbir hastada ameliyat sonrası yara yeri ya da deri grefti donör alanı komplikasyonu yaşanmadı. Tüm hastalarda tam kür sağlandı. Ortalama takip süresi 1,8 (1-3) yıldı. Takip sürelerinin sonunda hiçbir hastada nüks görülmedi. Sonuç: Alt ekstremite klasik Kaposi sarkomu, deri lezyonlarının tedavisinde cerrahi eksizyon ile nüks riski olmaksızın tam kür sağlanabilir. Eksizyon sonrası primer kapatılamayan deri defektlerinin onarımında tam kat deri grefti kullanılması basit ve güvenilir bir yöntemdir.
