Initial manifestation of AIDS in the head and neck region occurs frequently. The purpose of this report has been to alert the head and neck surgeon to the occurrence of AIDS-related lesions, their clinical characteristics, and disease outcome. Incomplete recognition of these disorders may delay appropriate diagnostic study and initiation of therapy. We have described 10 patients in whom the initial manifestation of AIDS-related malignancies occurred in the head and neck region. Six of these patients were found to have Kaposi's sarcoma, whereas four had non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The specific clinical and pathologic aspects of the disease have been described, which represent common patterns of presentation. It is crucial to obtain an accurate social history, as well as a complete medical history from any patient suspected of having AIDS, and prompt biopsy of suspect lesions should be performed.
