Abstract:
Lymphangioma-like Kaposi sarcoma (LLKS) is a rare histologic presentation of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), with only 28 cases reported in the literature. LLKS has been described in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and in endemic African-type as well as classic indolent KS. We present the 1st reported case of LLKS in a transplant-associated iatrogenic immunosuppressed patient.

Immunodeficiency Diseases

Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
1.1K
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
