Peripheral blood and bone marrow findings are presented for six homosexual males with Kaposi's sarcoma. Cytopenia in one or more cell lines was common in this group of patients, including two individuals with pancytopenia. Bone marrow findings in all patients, while not specific, were similar in that adequate numbers of normal appearing erythroid, myeloid, and megakaryocytic elements were present. Mild plasmacytosis as well as reticulin fiber increase were common findings. No patient, at time of study, demonstrated marrow involvement with Kaposi's sarcoma. We conclude that depression of peripheral blood counts in these patients was not due to marrow underproduction, and discuss possible mechanisms for increased blood cell destruction.
本文呈现了6例患有卡波西肉瘤的同性恋男性的外周血和骨髓检查结果。在这组患者中，一种或多种细胞系血细胞减少很常见，其中2例患者出现全血细胞减少。所有患者的骨髓检查结果虽不具特异性，但相似之处在于存在数量充足、形态正常的红系、髓系和巨核系细胞成分。轻度浆细胞增多以及网状纤维增多是常见表现。在研究时，没有患者显示骨髓受卡波西肉瘤侵犯。我们得出结论，这些患者外周血细胞计数降低并非由于骨髓生成不足，并讨论了血细胞破坏增加的可能机制。
