Kaposi's sarcoma and immunosuppressive therapy: an appraisal 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Kaposi's sarcoma can probably be added to the list of tumours (lymphomas and squamous cell epitheliomas) that are especially prone to arise as a result of immunosuppressive therapy. Sixteen examples of this complication have been described in the literature and we report three further instances. These three patients had been on treatment with prolonged steroid therapy, but many of the previosly reported patients had been on aggressive immunosuppressive regimes to prevent rejection of kidney transplants. Kaposi's sarcoma associated with steroid and immunosuppressive therapy may show enhanced incidence in women (7 females as against 12 males) remembering that the spontaneous disease occurs ten times more frequently in men than women. We discuss the implications of these findings against the background of the high incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma in parts of Africa where immunological derangement consequent on malaria may be significant. 相似文献

Background In the literature, Kaposi's sarcoma-rheumatoid arthritis association is reported and it has been suggested that genetic predisposition may play an important role. Numerous studies indicate that immunological deficiency may also have an important role in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma, along with a series of others factors. Patients and methods We present two cases of Sardinian women with rheumathoid arthritis and Kaposi's sarcoma where the relationship between the drugs used for the treatment of the former (particularly gold salts) and Kaposi's sarcoma is highlighted. In addition, their genetic background is delineated. Conclusion Our findings suggest that genetic background associated with drugs plays a role in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma in rheumatoid arthritis patients. 相似文献

Kaposi''s sarcoma is a malignant disease that originates in the lymphatic endothelium.
It has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Its four distinct clinical forms
are: classic, endemic, iatrogenic and epidemic Kaposi''s sarcoma. In
non-HIV-associated Kaposi''s sarcoma, the disease is typically limited to the lower
extremities, but in immunodeficient patients, it is a multifocal systemic disease.
The clinical course of the disease differs among patients, ranging from a single or a
few indolent lesions to an aggressive diffuse disease. Advanced Kaposi''s sarcoma
lesions, typically those on the lower extremities, are often associated with
lymphedema. In this paper, we report a case of a patient with a rare form of
AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma called lymphangiectatic Kaposis''s sarcoma. 相似文献

Experience with 1 s pulses of the infra-red coagulator is reported for the treatment of 10 cutaneous AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma lesions in seven patients. The infra-red coagulator may be a useful addition in the palliative cosmetic treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma, producing an acceptable result in small (less than 2 cm in diameter) Kaposi's sarcoma lesions of the arms and trunk, but not in those situated on the legs. 相似文献

Kaposi''s sarcoma is the most common neoplasia diagnosed in AIDS patients and the
expression of the human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) latent nuclear antigen-1 has been
useful for its histological diagnosis. The aim of this study is to confirm that
immunohistochemistry is a valuable tool for differentiating KS from its simulators in
skin biopsies of HIV patients. Immunohistochemical and histological analyses were
performed in 49 Kaposi''s sarcoma skin biopsies and 60 of its histological simulators.
Positivity was present in the 49 Kaposi''s sarcoma skin biopsies and no staining was
observed in the 60 simulators analyzed, resulting in sensibility and specificity of
100%. HHV-8 immunohistochemical detection is an effective tool for diagnosing
Kaposi''s sarcoma, especially in early lesions in which neoplastic features are not
evident. It also contributes to its histological differential diagnosis. 相似文献

We report a 35-year-old man with acute myelocytic leukaemia and Kaposi's sarcoma, whose serum was non-reactive for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type-1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blot and immunofluorescence. Complete remission of both the acute leukaemia and the Kaposi's sarcoma followed treatment with mitoxantrone and cytosine arabinoside. We speculate that the rapid regression of the lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma might be related to mitoxantrone and to the return to normal of his peripheral helper and suppressor T-cell counts. 相似文献

Familial Kaposi's sarcoma and familial Paget's disease of bone have not previously been reported to occur in the one patient or the one family. We report on an 82-year-old female of Lebanese descent who was recently diagnosed with Kaposi's sarcoma and Paget's disease. Of the patient's eight siblings, seven had Paget's disease and two of these also had Kaposi's sarcoma. Histocompatibility leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II typing of the patient showed: A2, A3; B35, Bx; Bw6; Cw4; DRβ1*1101 (an HLA-DR5 subtype) DRβ3 and DQβ1*0301. Previous reports have described possible associations of familial Kaposi's sarcoma with HLA-DR5 and Paget's disease with DR2, DRβ1*1104, DPβ1*04and DQw1. Genetic factors and possible viral aetiologies fur each condition are reviewed. 相似文献

—Kaposi's sarcoma is a systemic angiomatous tumor that generally affects individuals over 50 years of age; it is mainly observed in male patients. Few cases of visceral involvement have been described in its classic form. In this work, we describe a case of classic Kaposi's sarcoma with disseminated skin lesions, involvement of multiple internal organs and fatal evolution. The cause of death was a cardiac tamponade caused by the Kaposi's sarcoma lesions that developed in the epicardium and the pericardium. 相似文献

Background The appearance of Kaposi's sarcoma during iatrogenic immnunosuppression for renal transplantation is well known. A growing number of patients undergoing immnunosuppressive therapy for conditions other than organ transplanation have also developed this neoplasm, and temporal arteritis is emerging as one of the more common of those conditions. Case: We report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma complicating corticosteroid therapy for temporal arteritis, summarize the previously reported cases and consider the possible association between these two disorders. Conclusion: Although inconclusive from the available data, patients with temporal arteritis may be predisposed to iatrogenic Kaposi's sarcoma due to a shared antigen specific immune response. 相似文献

Cutaneous cryptococcosis and Kaposi's sarcoma occurring in the same lesions in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A 34-year-old woman presented with a history of fever, malaise and skin lesions. A diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was established, and in addition, the skin lesion which was biopsied also demonstrated cryptococcal infection. Disseminated cryptococcosis was later confirmed and the disease ran a florid course. The co-existence of different diseases within the same lesion is a feature of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, this being the third documented case of simultaneous Kaposi's sarcoma and cutaneous cryptococcosis occurring at the same site in a patient with AIDS. The nature of this co-existence is discussed with reference to the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma. 相似文献

Kaposi''s sarcoma (KS) is a multicentric vascular neoplasm, with cutaneous and
extracutaneous involvement. Different clinical and epidemiological variants
have been identified. The classic form is manifested mainly in elderly men
with indolent and long-term evolution, with lesions localized primarily in
the lower extremities. We present two cases of classic Kaposi''s sarcoma
(CKS) in two female patients with extensive, exuberant skin involvement and
rapid evolution, with good response to radiotherapy. 相似文献

Kaposi''s sarcoma (KS) is a malignant proliferation of the endothelial cells. It typically presents with several vascular nodules on the skin and other organs. The penile localization of KS, particularly on the shaft area, is exceptional. We report an HIV-positive 34-year-old man who had multiple purplish-black plaques on his extremities and several small violaceous macules on the glans and shaft of the penis. Kaposi''s sarcoma was diagnosed by histopathology. 相似文献

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) represents paradoxical immune-mediated inflammation in response to an infecting pathogen, occurring after initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), concomitantly with immune system recovery. It has also been described in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). We report a case of a 9-year-old Guinean girl, who developed Kaposi's sarcoma, following introduction of ART. KS associated with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome is rare, especially in children, but with the increased use of ART is becoming more prevalent. 相似文献

Acquired progressive lymphangioma (APL), or benign lymphangioendothelioma, is an unusual entity derived from vascular structures. Clinically and histopathologically it may resemble Kaposi's sarcoma and well‐differentiated angiosarcoma, causing a diagnostic problem. We report an individual with APL initially diagnosed with Kaposi's sarcoma who underwent unnecessary laboratory testing. Imiquimod 5% cream stopped the progression of the lesion. Awareness of this rare entity may prevent patients from undergoing excessive testing. Imiquimod may be used as a safe, effective treatment option. 相似文献

The development of pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma after placement of a vascular access graft 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma developed on the skin overlying a vascular access graft in a haemodialysis patient. After spontaneous thrombosis within the graft, the cutaneous lesions promptly resolved. Light and electron microscopic study of the lesions failed to distinguish them from those of true Kaposi's sarcoma. 相似文献

Interferon alpha-2a, which has antineoplastic, antiviral, immunomodulatory, and antiangiogenic effects, was evaluated in a prospective study, treating 10 lesions of patients with classical Kaposi's sarcoma. Ten patients received injections of interferon alpha-2a intralesionally in a dose of 3 million units three times weekly for 4 weeks, and in a variable dose for 4 more weeks. Two of the patients had a complete response, and in one of these, distant lesions also responded. Seven had a partial response, and one did not respond. The treatment was generally well tolerated. The results of our study support the use of interferon in the therapy of classical Kaposi's sarcoma, although it would appear that to achieve maximum efficacy, a longer period of treatment is needed. 相似文献

Objective To describe and illustrate bleomycin-induced cutaneous toxicity, which may present atypically in AIDS patients with Kaposi's sarcoma. Design and subjects Case note review of all AIDS patients receiving systemic chemotherapy in the preceding year. Setting Combined oncology and HIV out-patient clinic at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London. Outcome measured Cutaneous toxicity associated with intravenous bleomycin therapy. Results We report three cases of bleomycin-induced flagellate dermatitis with atypical presentation of pruritic skin lesions after relatively low doses of bleomycin. Conclusions Bleomycin usage is increasing as an effective agent in the treatment of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. Awareness that cytotoxic drugs may produce a range of unusual cutaneous adverse effects in this patient population is important for doctors of all specialities who treat HIV-infected patients. The pathomechanism of flagellate dermatitis is discussed. 相似文献

Thirth-five patients who received thirty-seven kidney transplants (two patients received live; the rest cadaver kidneys) were followed up for skin complications. There were thirty-nine instances of overt skin infection. In twenty-one instances we encountered fungal, in ten pyogenic and in eight viral infection. The course of these infections was more severe and more protracted than is usual in other patients. In nine instances, the skin infection contributed directly to the death of the patient. One patient developed Kaposi's sarcoma and another pyoderma gangrenosum. This study suggests that immunosuppressive treatment, which all our patients were continuously receiving, enhances their susceptibility to infection and to malignancy and may have been an aetiological factor in pyoderma gangrenosum. 相似文献
