title: Case report: fulminant Kaposi's sarcoma after orthotopic liver transplantation.
abstract: Fulminant multicentric Kaposi's sarcoma developed in an American-born HIV-negative patient 8 months after orthotopic liver transplantation. Despite its rarity in liver transplantation, Kaposi's sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis in hepatic allograft recipients presenting with rapidly growing cutaneous or polylymphadenopathic lesions.
