[Visceral Kaposi sarcoma with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy and latent sicca syndrome (author's transl)].

A case clinically and morphologically typical angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy in a 64-year old man is reported. A sicca syndrome was discovered with histological localization in the labial accessory salivary glands. Death occurred after a course of a few months. The autopsy showed an association of angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy lesions of the bone marrow and the lymph node and of typical multivisceral localizations of Kaposi's sarcoma (lymph node, liver, thyroïdd gland) without skin involvement. This association of two diseases characterized by severe dysimmunity with B lymphocytes hyperplasia is discussed, and compared to the others diseases which could be associated with Kaposi's sarcoma.
