We have examined the incidence of non-AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma in Iceland (1955-79) and the Faroe Islands (1974-95). In Iceland, 19 cases, nine in men and ten in women, were identified, and in the Faroe Islands four cases in men and three cases in women were found. This corresponded to surprisingly high incidence rates. In men, world standardized rates (per 100000 person-years) were 0.4 and 0.6 in Iceland and the Faroe Islands, respectively, and for women, the figures were 0.3 (Iceland) and 0.5 (the Faroe Islands). These are among the highest rates ever reported. No explanation for the high rates of Kaposi's sarcoma in these two North Atlantic communities could be identified.
我们调查了冰岛（1955 - 1979年）和法罗群岛（1974 - 1995年）非艾滋病相关卡波西肉瘤的发病率。在冰岛，共确诊19例，其中男性9例，女性10例；在法罗群岛，发现男性4例，女性3例。这一发病率高得出奇。在男性中，冰岛和法罗群岛的世界标准化发病率（每10万人年）分别为0.4和0.6；在女性中，冰岛为0.3，法罗群岛为0.5。这些是有史以来报告的最高发病率之一。目前尚无法解释这两个北大西洋社区卡波西肉瘤发病率为何如此之高。
