[Pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma in a heterosexual parenteral drug addict patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome].
A case of Kaposi syndrome is described in a 28-year-old heterosexual male with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The disease began clinically with pulmonary disease, without mucocutaneous lesions. This form of presentation is extremely infrequent and has not been described in non-homosexual subjects. Clinical manifestations were fever, cough and dyspnea. Thoracic radiography observed a perihilar interstitial pattern which evolved to a bilateral nodular pattern with perihilar adenopathy. There was endobronchial disease, however pulmonary biopsy was required for diagnosis. Complete tumoral remission was achieved with adriamycin, bleomycin and vincristine.
