Visceral Kaposi's sarcoma. Occurrence in a patient suffering from celiac disease.
A case of visceral Kaposi's sarcoma occurred in a patient with adult celiac disease. A search of the literature has failed to disclose any previous case showing this association, although Kaposi's disease has been reported to occur in a variety of situations in which immunological abnormalities have been manifest. Conversely, celiac disease has been shown to predispose to the development of a variety of malignant neoplasms.
