Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma was the first cancer to be recognised as related to the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and was designated as such by the Centers for Disease Control. Kaposi's sarcoma is a multifocal neoplasm, and skin and oral cavity are the most common sites of presentation of this neoplasm in HIV infected patients. The involvement of organs and lymph nodes are also seen. In this paper, two male AIDS patients, aged 37 and 26, with Kaposi's sarcoma with diffuse visceral involvement are presented.

Özet

Kaposi sarkomu, AIDS ile ilişkili olduğu bildirilen ve Hastalık Kontrol Merkezleri (Centers for Disease Control-CDC) tarafından da bu şekilde tanımlanan ilk kanserdir. Multifokal bir neoplazm olan Kaposi sarkomu HIV pozitif olgularda sıklıkla deri ve ağız boşluğundaki bulgularla ortaya çıkar, daha az oranda organ veya lenf düğümü tutulumu olabilir. Bazı olgularda AİDS tanısını koydurtan indeks hastalık olarak onaya çıkar. Bu yazıda Kaposi sarkomu ile eş zamanlı olarak AİDS tanısı alan ve yaygın organ tutulumu saptanan 37 ve 26 yaşlarında iki erkek hasta sunulmuştur.
