An aggressive visceral form of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been reported in immunosuppressed populations, most notably in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This presentation contrasts from the indolent skin lesions on the extremities of older males and is distinct enough in the young adult American population to have been included in the working definition of AIDS. The authors describe a case of primary lymphadenopathic KS in an immunocompetent heterosexual 23-year-old man with no epidemiologic, immunologic, or serologic evidence of AIDS. This report emphasizes that a diagnosis of KS in a young American male is not synonymous with the diagnosis of AIDS.
在免疫抑制人群中，尤其是获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）患者中，已报告有一种侵袭性内脏型卡波西肉瘤（KS）。这种表现与老年男性四肢的惰性皮肤病变不同，在美国年轻成人人群中也足够独特，已被纳入AIDS的工作定义中。作者描述了一例原发性淋巴结病性KS病例，患者为一名23岁免疫功能正常的异性恋男性，无AIDS的流行病学、免疫学或血清学证据。本报告强调，在美国年轻男性中诊断KS并不等同于诊断AIDS。
