In China, Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is very rare. However, KS does occur as one of the complications in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Usually AIDS-related KS involves the lymph nodes, the skin and gastrointestinal tract. Intraosseous KS have been reported but it is very rare. We report a case of primary intraosseous KS of the maxilla in an AIDS patient, proven by pathology findings and showed multiple metastasis by positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT). To our knowledge, this is the first report of primary intraosseous KS of the maxilla in an AIDS patient in China.
在中国,卡波西肉瘤(KS)非常罕见。然而,KS 确实会作为获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)患者的并发症之一出现。通常,与 AIDS 相关的 KS 涉及淋巴结、皮肤和胃肠道。已有报道称骨髓内 KS 存在,但非常罕见。我们报告了一例 AIDS 患者的上颌骨原发性骨髓内 KS 病例,通过病理学发现证实,并通过正电子发射断层扫描和计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)显示多处转移。据我们所知,这是首例在中国 AIDS 患者中报告的上颌骨原发性骨髓内 KS。
