The incidence of classical Kaposi's sarcoma in 1977-91 was studied in north-east Sardinia. In this period, 160 new cases were observed in a defined area, of which 124 were in males. This represented a standardised incidence of the disease of 1.58/100,000 inhabitants per year (2.43 for males and 0.77 for females). This is the highest incidence of classical Kaposi's sarcoma so far recorded. The incidence increased with age, particularly after the age of 70 in males.
1977年至1991年期间,对撒丁岛东北部经典型卡波西肉瘤的发病率进行了研究。在此期间,在特定区域观察到160例新病例,其中124例为男性。这代表该疾病的标准化发病率为每年每10万居民中有1.58例(男性为2.43例,女性为0.77例)。这是迄今为止记录到的经典型卡波西肉瘤的最高发病率。发病率随年龄增长而上升,男性尤其在70岁以后。
