Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma accounts for more than 3% of neoplasms occurring in patients who have undergone a transplant. An epidemiologic study showed that in renal translanted patients, the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma was 400 to 500 times higher than in controls of the same ethnic origin. We report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma involving the lung and skin after immunosuppressive therapy in a patient with renal transplant. A plain chest radiograph showed diffusely increased interstitial opacity with multiple, ill-defined small nodules in both lung fields. HRCT revealed multiple small nodules, predominatly in the peribronchovascular regions, and ill-defined areas of ground-glass opacity and consolidation in both lungs.
