Lymphangioma-like variant of AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma with pronounced edema formation.
An HIV-positive black man developed subcutaneous noduli in the framework of a lymphangioma-like variant of Kaposi's sarcoma. Extensive lymphedema formation also occurred on the legs, face and hands. Treatment with alpha-interferon led to partial regression of Kaposi's sarcoma and the lymphedema.
