Kaposi's sarcoma after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
A case of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in an allogenic BMT recipient is reported. A 26-year-old man underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for microdrepanocytosis. He received prolonged immunosuppressive therapy for mild chronic GVHD. Two years after BMT he developed KS localized to the skin. The KS improved rapidly and outcome was complete remission after cessation of immunosuppression.
