Immunosuppression in kidney transplantation elevates the risk of malignancies, particularly immune-driven and virus-related cancers like Kaposi sarcoma (KS). KS typically manifests as single or multiple skin lesions following kidney transplantation but can also affect other organs. Involvement of the kidney allograft by KS is exceptionally rare, with only a few cases documented. In this report, we present all known cases of KS involving kidney allografts in adult transplant recipients in Qatar, accompanied by a brief review of the literature.
肾移植中的免疫抑制会增加患恶性肿瘤的风险,尤其是免疫驱动型和病毒相关型癌症,如卡波西肉瘤(KS)。KS通常在肾移植后表现为单个或多个皮肤病变,但也可能影响其他器官。KS累及肾移植受者的情况极为罕见,仅有少数病例记录在案。在本报告中,我们呈现了卡塔尔成年移植受者中所有已知的KS累及肾移植受者的病例,并对相关文献进行了简要综述。
