Gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma can occur in HIV-infected patients without previously diagnosed AIDS. Gastrointestinal symptoms in such patients should be thoroughly investigated because of the possibility of gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma, despite the absence of the cutaneous form. The discovery of gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma establishes the diagnosis of AIDS, as it did in our two patients.
胃肠道卡波西肉瘤可发生于未被先前诊断为艾滋病的HIV感染患者。此类患者的胃肠道症状应进行全面检查，因为尽管没有皮肤型卡波西肉瘤，但仍有可能存在胃肠道卡波西肉瘤。正如我们的两位患者那样，胃肠道卡波西肉瘤的发现确立了艾滋病的诊断。
