title: The Koebner phenomenon in immunosuppression-related Kaposi's sarcoma.
abstract: The Koebner phenomenon has been reported to develop in classic or acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). A 12-year-old kidney transplant recipient who developed immunosuppression-related KS showed reoccurrence of lesions in some previously intact incision sites following removal of tumor, suggesting Koebner phenomenon. It is recommended that surgeons be careful when planning surgical interventions in patients with certain skin disorders in which Koebner phenomenon is known to develop.
