title: Kaposi's sarcoma in a homosexual--10 years on.
abstract: Kaposi's sarcoma is seen in one of several clinical settings. Before the recognition of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the early 1980s, the most frequent presentation of Kaposi's sarcoma in the UK was the so-called 'classical' form of the disease. The most common form of Kaposi's sarcoma in this country is now that associated with AIDS, which particularly affects young male homosexuals. Here we describe a homosexual man who has developed many Kaposi's sarcoma tumours during the past 10 years. The disease has run a benign course and there is no evidence of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
