Kaposi's sarcoma on a lymphedematous immunocompromised limb
International Journal of Dermatology
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
Kaposi's sarcoma appeared on a chronically lymphedematous leg of a 75-year-old man. Immunologic investigations revealed a lack of cellular immune response confined to the involved lower limb. Regional disorders of immune surveillance are thought to play an important role in the early stages of Kaposi's sarcoma.
