- Abstract
- Kaposi's sarcoma is an unusual neoplasm that has proved to be an enigma in many ways since its original description by Kaposi in 1872. Of the several different type of Kaposi's sarcoma, iatrogenically immunosuppressed patients predisposed to Kaposi's sarcoma are usually either transplant recipients or patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. We report a case of recurrent Kaposi's sarcoma in a 56 year old male, which has occurred during the cyclosporine therapy of kidney transplantation. Cyclosporine was discontinued and chemotherapy began and the resolution of Kaposi's sarcoma has been obtained. Cyclosporine maintenance therapy was started again for the prevention of graft rejection. But 1 year later, Kaposi's sarcoma recurred probably due to re-use of cyclosporine.
