Kaposi's sarcoma in an HIV-positive person successfully treated with paclitaxel
Dongre, Atul & Montaldo, Chiara
Abstract
Epidemic Kaposi′s sarcoma is one of the malignant neoplasms, which can develop in HIV-infected patients. Although the prevalence of HIV infection is reported to be high in Asian countries, Kaposi′s sarcoma is rarely reported. We report a case of Kaposi′s sarcoma involving the skin and oral mucosa along with extensive bilateral lymphedema of lower extremities, treated successfully with paclitaxel and antiretrovirals.
