“…Kaposi's sarcoma is well known in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), iatrogenic KS mainly affecting recipients of solid organs (especially the kidneys), but rarely plaguing patients with glomerulonephritis under immunosuppressive therapy. To the best of our knowledge, the report of KS in patients with glomerulonephritis is only eight cases described in the literature (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). In this article, we are presenting another rare case of Kaposi sarcoma in a patient with membranous glomerulonephritis on immunosuppressive therapy.…”

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a malignant neoplasm of the vascular endothlium that closely related to human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection. Iatrogenic KS is associated with wide use of immunosuppressive therapy, which is well known in post-transplantation patient but only several cases reported in the literature associated with membranous glomerulonephritis. We herein report an unusual case of Kaposi's sarcoma in an HIV-negative patient with membranous glomerulonephritis from Sichuan, China. The 40-year-old male patient developed KS following treatment with long-term medium dose prednisolone, short-term cyclosporin and cyclophosphamide. The KS cases associated with glomerulonephritis are also reviewed.
