Abstract:
Kaposi disease, a tumor virus-induced, is a cutaneomucosis disease, generated by the virus infection HHV 8 of the gamma-Herpesviridae family. This virus is involved in several lymphoid pathologies. Its role in the plasma cell proliferation genesis during monoclonal gammopathy is discussed, and results are contradictory. The occurrence of Kaposi disease during multiple myeloma was described in the literature. Through this observation, we report the first case associated with monoclonal gammopathy, evolved for 3 years by HIV negative patient, and we discuss the involvement of HHV8 virus in the development of monoclonal immunoglobulin.
