Lymphadenopathic Kaposi's sarcoma in a pediatric patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
A six-year-old Hispanic female with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and multiple opportunistic infections was found to have disseminated lymphadenopathic Kaposi's sarcoma at autopsy. She was presumed to have been infected via maternal transmission, although both HIV antibody positive parents were asymptomatic. Kaposi's sarcoma is rarely reported in pediatric AIDS, and children may not have the typical aggressive cutaneous lesions found in adults with AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma.
