AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a malignancy seen in patients with HIV/AIDS that results from unrestrained human herpesvirus 8 infection. It can have an atypical presentation and an aggressive clinical course in patients with uncontrolled HIV infection. We present an interesting case of AIDS-related KS with an atypical initial presentation with skin nodules and debilitating lymphoedema. Patient was successfully managed with supportive measures, antiretroviral therapy and systemic chemotherapy.
艾滋病相关的卡波西肉瘤（KS）是一种在人类免疫缺陷病毒/艾滋病（HIV/AIDS）患者中出现的恶性肿瘤，由人类疱疹病毒8型不受控制的感染引起。在HIV感染未得到控制的患者中，它可能有非典型表现和侵袭性临床病程。我们报告一例有趣的艾滋病相关KS病例，其最初表现为非典型的皮肤结节和使人衰弱的淋巴水肿。患者通过支持措施、抗逆转录病毒疗法和全身化疗成功得到治疗。
