title: [Epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma. Apropos of 14 cases].
abstract: The epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common AIDS associated cancer. The lesions are located in any part of the organism. The skin affection is the most frequent. The risk group with a highest incidence is the "male homosexuals". Though the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma doesn't determine "per se" the prognosis "quad vitam", there exist some analytic parameters at the time of the diagnosis that are useful for the prognosis of the HIV infection. We present 14 Kaposi's sarcoma and HIV infected cases analyzing some parameters and evaluating their prognosis and surviving hope.
