title: [Kaposi's sarcoma (author's transl)].
abstract: Kaposi's sarcoma of the skin and an aplastic syndrome occurred together in a 51-year-old patient. Macroscopically livid papules and nodules were observed. Histomorphologically endotheliomatous cell proliferation with signs of infiltrative growth was found. Because of the aplastic pancytopenia cytostatic treatment of the Kaposi sarcoma was contraindicated. The patient finally died of vascular failure with haemorrhagic diathesis being manifest. Syntropy of Kaposi's sarcoma with malignant haematological diseases is known. However, association with aplastic anaemia has not been observed so far. The pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma is unknown.
