Abstract

We report a case of homosexual Thai AIDS patient who presented with mucocutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and developed pulmonary involvement which rapidly progressed to a fatal outcome. Although AIDS-KS has been reported as the most common cancer occurring in HIV-infected patients, it has rarely been reported in Thai patients. The characteristic mucocutaneous lesions, histopathological and bronchoscopic findings are demonstrated. Tha clinical differentiation and management are discussed.
