Abstract:
Epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma is the neoplasm most frequently manifested in infection by the human immunodeficiency virus. Its prevalence is considerably higher among homosexual males than among intravenous drug users with practically exclusive infection in this sex. Four cases of Kaposi's sarcoma in women with the human immunodeficiency virus are described. Two of these subjects were intravenous drug users and the other two were heterosexually promiscuous as the only conduct of risk for acquiring infection by the human immunodeficiency virus. Kaposi's sarcoma was the form of presentation of the syndrome of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in these four patients.
