Abstract EN
We report a case of AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) with Primary Effusion Lymphoma (PEL) in a 28-year-old, African American male.
Kaposi’s sarcoma is an AIDS defining disease and typically will disseminate early in the course of the disease affecting the skin, mucous membranes, gastrointestinal tract, lymph nodes, and lungs.
This case reports an unusual presentation of the disease along with primary effusion lymphoma.
Although the most common organ systems affected by KS are the respiratory and the gastrointestinal systems, the lungs of this patient did not show any evidence of KS.
Additionally, the patient demonstrates the rarely seen liver and unique pancreatic involvement by KS along with unusual synchronous bilateral pleural and peritoneal cavity involvement by PEL, adding to the distinct pattern of invasive AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma.
