title: [The clinical aspects of 4 cases of oral Kaposi's sarcoma].
abstract: The authors report 4 cases of patients with AIDS and harbouring oral lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma. They describe the macroscopic appearance and clinical signs in relation to epidemic Kaposi's systemic ones. Because of the anamnestic or coexistence of oral mycosis (Candida), in every case the authors suppose that it may precede Kaposi's manifestations, with a very severe prognosis, correlated to progressive and deadly course of this illness.
