title: Kaposi's sarcoma in the foot. A retrospective study.
abstract: Kaposi's sarcoma has been found to be present in a significant number of patients infected with HIV. A report of 162 cases of biopsied specimens has been presented with a review of previous studies. Diagnosis, cause and treatment have been discussed, leading to the conclusion that the podiatrist must be well versed in his understanding of Kaposi's sarcoma in order to recognize, treat, and alert the patient to the diagnosis of AIDS.
