Currently, Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is treated following the recommendations of international guidelines. These guidelines recommend esophagogastroduodenoscopy/colonoscopy for detecting multicentric KS of visceral lesions. Second primary malignancies (SPMs) are also a common KS complication; however, information on their detection and treatment is unfortunately not yet indicated in these guidelines. This paper reports on an 86-year-old man who suffered from quadruple primary malignancies: skin classic KS with colon adenocarcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma (maxilla), and well-differentiated stomach adenocarcinoma. Gastric cancer was incidentally detected during esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which was performed to detect visceral KS. We suggest that esophagogastroduodenoscopy/colonoscopy be routinely performed during the follow-up of patients with KS. As SPMs are crucial complications in patients with KS, these malignancies should be detected as early as possible.
目前,卡波西肉瘤(KS)的治疗遵循国际指南的建议。这些指南推荐进行食管胃十二指肠镜检查/结肠镜检查以检测内脏病变的多中心KS。第二原发性恶性肿瘤(SPM)也是KS的常见并发症;然而,遗憾的是这些指南中尚未提及关于其检测和治疗的信息。本文报道了一名86岁男性,他患有四重原发性恶性肿瘤:皮肤经典型KS伴结肠腺癌、口腔鳞状细胞癌(上颌)和高分化胃腺癌。在为检测内脏KS而进行的食管胃十二指肠镜检查中偶然发现了胃癌。我们建议在KS患者的随访期间常规进行食管胃十二指肠镜检查/结肠镜检查。由于SPM是KS患者的关键并发症,应尽早检测出这些恶性肿瘤。
