title: Non AIDS Kaposi's Sarcoma Leading to Lower Extremities Wounds, Case Presentations and Discussion.
abstract: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare malignancy that with the onset of the AIDS epidemic suggests a link between the development of disease and a transmissible agent. It is a low-grade vascular tumor associated with infection with the human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8). The first case presents a non-HIV patient with Kaposi's sarcoma of the left foot and the second case is a kidney transplant patient on immunosuppressive medications with wounds on the right leg due to non-HIV Kaposi's sarcoma.
