[Bullous manifestations of Kaposi disease associated with AIDS].
BACKGROUND
We report the apparently first description of bullous Kaposi's sarcoma in a patient with AIDS.


METHODS
Kaposi's sarcoma was observed in a HIV positive homosexual who had developed AIDS. The delay between the development of Kaposi's sarcoma and the appearance of bullae was 6 months. Bullae occurred after oedema and necrosis of the subepidermic derma.


CONCLUSIONS
This unusual clinical presentation of Kaposi's syndrome in an AIDS patient led to rapid tumor extention and would thus suggest a rapidly unfavourable prognosis.
