An Italian woman affected by multiple myeloma (MM) associated with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been studied. MM appeared to be at stage II, A, according to Durie & Salmon (3) (quantitative staging); KS spread out two and a half years after MM had been diagnosed, and showed only a pharyngeal involvement. The patient was still alive two and a half years after KS had been discovered, showing a benign clinical course, though several infectious complications had occurred. The observed patient is compared with the other ten cases reported in the world literature. The long lasting observed survival is thought to be related to the low MCM and the length of successful therapy.
对一名患有与卡波西肉瘤（KS）相关的多发性骨髓瘤（MM）的意大利女性进行了研究。根据杜里和萨尔蒙（3）（定量分期），MM似乎处于II期A期；KS在MM诊断两年半后扩散，仅表现为咽部受累。在发现KS两年半后，该患者仍然存活，尽管发生了一些感染性并发症，但临床过程呈良性。将观察到的患者与世界文献中报道的其他10例病例进行了比较。观察到的长期生存被认为与低微小残留病（MCM）和成功治疗的时长有关。
