Two cases of Kaposi's sarcoma presenting as tonsilar masses in HIV-positive patients are described. At the time of examination neither patient had other manifestations of AIDS. Both patients also had concomitant cervical lymphadenopathy at the time of presentation, but the tonsillar masses were the dominant clinical findings. Biopsy of both tonsils revealed typical features of Kaposi's sarcoma. Both patients subsequently defaulted treatment and have been lost to follow-up.
本文描述了两例人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）阳性患者中，卡波西肉瘤表现为扁桃体肿物的病例。在检查时，两名患者均无获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）的其他表现。两名患者在就诊时均伴有颈部淋巴结病，但扁桃体肿物是主要的临床发现。双侧扁桃体活检均显示卡波西肉瘤的典型特征。两名患者随后均未接受治疗且失访。
