- Abstract
A case of disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in a 21-yr-old white heterosexual male with cryptogenic cirrhosis and no serological or immunological evidence of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is reported. The patient died 2 wk after diagnosis. Postmortem examination showed involvement of lymph nodes, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, and bone marrow. This case demonstrates that Kaposi's sarcoma can occur in a young heterosexual male with normal immune function and in the absence of HIV infection.
