Steroid Induced Kaposi's Sarcoma in an HIV Negative Patient

Kaposi's sarcoma is one of malignancies that is most seen in HIV positive or immunocompromised patients. Kaposi's sarcoma typically involves the skin. We present a HIV negative, 31-year-old Iranian woman from Tehran with Kaposi's sarcoma associated with corticosteroid use.

Coexistence of Sezary syndrome with Kaposi's sarcoma: Report of a case with concurrent generalized dermatophyte infection

Immunosuppression is known to be associated with increased rate of malignancies and widespread dermatophytosis in the patients with sezary syndrome and this may account for the occurrence of Kaposi’s sarcoma and generalized dermatophytosis in patients in this report. Herein, we report a 58-year-old farmer man, who admitted with two months history of severely pruritic skin lesions, which p...

بررسی شیوع ژنوتایپ‌های ویروس هرپس انسانی هشت در سارکوم کاپوزی در ایران به‌وسیله روش مولکولار

Background: In the Mediterranean region , Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has a high prevalence especially in patients with AIDS. Iran is located close to the Mediterranean region and the HIV prevalence is increasing in our country . In some stages, Kaposi's sarcoma is morphologically similar to other vascular tumors. Owing to the presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) in all cases of Kaposi's sarcoma ,...

Primary effusion lymphoma containing human herpesvirus 8 DNA in two AIDS patients with Kaposi's sarcoma.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Primary effusion lymphomas (PELs) containing Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 8/HHV-8) DNA sequences represent a distinct but heterogeneous group of rare non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of null-cell phenotype/B-cell origin. We aimed to describe the clinicopathologic features of two human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related PELs occurring in homosexual...
