Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a multifocal vascular neoplasm most commonly seen in association with human immunodeficiency virus infection. However, KS has also been reported in patients treated with immunosuppressive agents. However, it is very rare to find KS in association with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Here we describe a 58-year-old male patient suffering from ITP treated with corticosteroid therapy who developed KS and present a review of the literature.
卡波西肉瘤(KS)是一种多灶性血管肿瘤,最常见于与人类免疫缺陷病毒感染相关的情况。然而,在接受免疫抑制剂治疗的患者中也有KS的报道。然而,卡波西肉瘤与特发性血小板减少性紫癜(ITP)相关的情况非常罕见。在此,我们描述一名58岁接受皮质类固醇治疗的ITP男性患者,该患者发生了卡波西肉瘤,并对相关文献进行综述。
