title: [Kaposi's sarcoma in the Monfalcone area].
abstract: The Monfalcone area (Italy) is a small industrial territory (60,000 inhabitants), characterized by a high incidence of asbestos-related diseases. In a review of the biopsy and necropsy records collected at the Monfalcone Hospital during the period October 1979-September 1985 two cases of Kaposi's sarcoma were found. Of the two patients one was resident out of the Monfalcone area; the second was already affected by the disease, when he came to this country. The present data suggest that Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare condition in Monfalcone territory.
