The radiographic abnormalities of primary Kaposi's sarcoma of the lung in a patient with a renal transplant are reported. The findings are similar to other malignancies and infections that are well recognized in the renal transplant population. In the appropriate clinical setting, the radiologist should consider the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma even in the absence of cutaneous lesions as reducing immunosuppression can be curative therapy.
报告了一名肾移植患者肺部原发性卡波西肉瘤的影像学异常。这些发现与肾移植人群中已得到充分认识的其他恶性肿瘤和感染相似。在适当的临床情况下,即使没有皮肤病变,放射科医生也应考虑卡波西肉瘤的诊断,因为减少免疫抑制可能是一种治愈性疗法。
