title: Gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma in renal transplant patients.
abstract: We report nine cases of gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma in renal transplant patients negative for human immunodeficiency virus. In eight the lesions regressed on either withdrawing or reducing the dose of cyclosporin A, but this led to the loss of the renal graft in approximately 50 per cent of patients.
