Kaposi's sarcoma rarely causes upper airway obstruction. In the only two previously reported cases, both patients were men who died of hemorrhage shortly after tracheostomy. We describe a 45-year-old woman with AIDS who presented with stridor secondary to Kaposi's sarcoma of the larynx. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this presentation in a woman and the first reported patient with Kaposi's sarcoma to survive tracheostomy.
卡波西肉瘤极少引起上呼吸道梗阻。在之前仅有的两例报告病例中，两名患者均为男性，且在气管造口术后不久死于出血。我们描述了一名45岁患艾滋病的女性，她因喉部卡波西肉瘤出现喘鸣。据我们所知，这是此类表现的女性患者的首例报告，也是首例报告的接受气管造口术后存活的卡波西肉瘤患者。
