- Abstract
- Kaposi’s sarcoma is a multicentric angioproliferative tumor of endothelial cells that originates from skin and viscera. We report
a 61-year-old man with relapsed classic Kaposi’s sarcoma on all extremities 10 years after complete remission. He was diagnosed
with Kaposi’s sarcoma in 1996 and underwent successful therapy with amputation and radiotherapy. He presented with multiple
purpuric nodules and plaques on both arms and legs without an immunodeficiency syndrome or transplantation history. The patient
was treated with bi-weekly adriamycin, bleomycin, and vincristine chemotherapy for 10 months, but died from pulmonary
complications. (Korean J Med 77:S1281-S1284, 2009)
