RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Rare presentation of bronchopulmonary Kaposi sarcoma JF BMJ Case Reports JO BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e229436 DO 10.1136/bcr-2019-229436 VO 12 IS 8 A1 Raiko Diaz A1 Patricia Almeida A1 Dionne Morgan YR 2019 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/12/8/e229436.abstract AB Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative disorder that is commonly associated with human herpes virus 8 as well as the HIV. In fact, KS is one of the most common AIDS-defining illnesses. KS typically presents with diffuse, violaceous cutaneous nodules, and may have concomitant visceral involvement. However, visceral involvement rarely occurs without skin manifestations. A rare case of localised bronchopulmonary KS without skin involvement is described in a patient with previously undiagnosed HIV. This atypical presentation represents a challenge for modern-day physicians in developed countries where the prevalence of AIDS-related diseases is decreasing.
