Kaposi sarcoma in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), presenting as lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) in a promiscuous trinidadian male.
A 27-year-old promiscuous male who denied homosexuality, intravenous drug abuse or having received blood transfusions, had disseminated Kaposi sarcoma. The aggressive nature of the tumor in a young man with the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) presenting as lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is highlighted. The relation of the HTLV III virus to a diffuse membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with sclerosis and associated hyaline degenerative changes in the juxtaglomerular apparatus are discussed.
