“…57,110 A high rate of incidence of classic KS among Italian immigrants in North 5,7,18,55 and South America also was noted. 47,48,51 Similarly, a low rate of incidence of classic KS was observed among immigrants to New South Wales, Australia from the British Isles, 43 and a higher rate of incidence was noted among immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe.…”

“…In recent years, Kapos i's sarcoma has emerged as a common malignancy associated with th e acquired immu n e defic iency syndrome (AIDS) and is fo und in up to 30% of ad ul t cases (2). In addition, t here has been a number of reports of Kaposi's sarcoma associated with immunosuppression, usuall y secondary to renal transplan tation (3)(4)(5)(6), but also to the use of immunosuppress ive drugs in other <liseases (7)(8)(9).

myositis with Kaposi's sarcoma in a patient without human immunodeficiency virus-1 infection. Can J Gastroenterol 1991;5(1):l-4. The first case of dermatomyosit is complicating cutaneous and visceral Kaposi's sarcoma is presented in a 75-year-old man without human immunodeficiency virus infection. Dermacomyositis preceded a definitive diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma by six months, although in retrospect unrecognized lesions may have presented simultaneously. He was treated with prednisone and azathioprine, thus raising the possibility of the role of immunosuppression in promoting progress ion of the sarcoma. le is suggested that although the association between dermatomyosicis and Kaposi's sarcoma occurs rarely, dennatomyositis should be considered a paraneoplastic syndrome of Kaposi's sarcoma. Further, the finding of cutaneous les ions of Kaposi's sa rcoma co uld pred ict gastrointestinal involvement when dermatomyositis and Kaposi's sarcoma occur in the same patient Key Words: Dennatomyositis , Kaposi's sarcoma Dermatomyosite associee a un sarcome de Kaposi chez un patient non infecte par le virus d'immunodeficience humaine 1 RESUME: O n presence un cas de dcrmatomyosite compliquant un sa rcome de Kaposi (SK) cuta ne et visceral chez un homme de 75 ans qui n 'etait pas in fecte par le VIH. La dermatomyosite a precede le diagnostic fennel du SK de six mois, bien qu'en re trospective des lesions meconnues aie nt p u se manifest er simultanement. Le patient a ere traitc par la prednisone et l'azathioprine, ce qui evoque la possibilite du role de l'immunosuppression comme agent favorisant !'evolution du sarcome. On suggere que, bien que !'association dermatomyosite et sarcome de Kaposi soit ra re, la dennatomyosice soit consideree comme syndrome paraneoplasique d'un sa rcome de Kaposi. Plus encore, la decouverte des lesions cutanees du SK pourrait evoquer une atteinte gastrointestinale quand la dermatomyosite et le sarcome de Kaposi se declarent c hez un meme patient.

“…Health was well maintained while the disease was indolent for several years and rapidly deteriorated as more aggressive lesion growth and dissemination occurred. Iatrogenic-or transplant-associated KS was first recognized in the 1960s and 1970s (Gange and Jones, 1978;Harwood et al, 1979;Kapadia and Krause, 1977;Klepp et al, 1978;Penn, 1979). It was associated with patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy, most often from organ transplant.…”
