Abstract:
Kaposi's sarcoma is the most frequent malignant neoplasm in AIDS, occurring in about 10 percent of all risk groups. This study evaluates the effect of intralesional vinblastine on intraoral Kaposi's sarcoma in 24 HIV-positive, homosexual males with 82 lesions. Complete resolution occurred in nearly 70 percent of the cases.
