Kaposi's sarcoma (K.S.) is associated relatively frequently with diabetes mellitus and with a second often lymphoreticular neoplasia. On the basis of the three cases reported, which presented an association of diabetes mellitus, chronic lymphatic leukaemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and K.S., the relationship between neoplastic diseases, immunological and lymphoproliferative disorders and virus infections is considered.

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.
