A Kaposi's sarcoma case with involvement of the gastrointestinal tract resulting in an unusual clinical syndrome characterized by diarrhea and protein-losing enteropathy is described. A careful examination of the literature reveals only one account of this rare pathologic condition.

The authors report a case of acute pancreatitis, where diagnosis was made by peritoneoscopy and was confirmed by peritoneoscopic biopsy. They suggest the usefulness of peritoneoscopic investigation in cases of acute abdominal syndromes.
