We describe the clinical and pathologic features of a case of pediatric multicentric Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) associated with allograft transplantation in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative child. A lethal polyadenopathic and visceral KS occurred in a 5-year-old Caribbean boy who had undergone an allogenic renal transplantation for diffuse mesangial sclerosis with end-stage renal failure 4 months previously. The HIV-1 and HIV-2 serologies were negative. Despite its rarity, KS must be considered as a differential diagnosis in posttransplantation polyadenopathic or multisystemic syndromes in children.

D012514 Sarcoma, Kaposi A multicentric, malignant neoplastic vascular proliferation characterized by the development of bluish-red cutaneous nodules, usually on the lower extremities, most often on the toes or feet, and slowly increasing in size and number and spreading to more proximal areas. The tumors have endothelium-lined channels and vascular spaces admixed with variably sized aggregates of spindle-shaped cells, and often remain confined to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, but widespread visceral involvement may occur. Kaposi's sarcoma occurs spontaneously in Jewish and Italian males in Europe and the United States. An aggressive variant in young children is endemic in some areas of Africa. A third form occurs in about 0.04% of kidney transplant patients. There is also a high incidence in AIDS patients. (From Dorland, 27th ed & Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, pp2105-7) HHV-8 is the suspected cause.
