Kaposi's sarcoma of lymph nodes associated with multicentric angiofollicular hyperplasia.

Abstract

A case of multicentric angiofollicular hyperplasia (hyaline-vascular type) associated with Kaposi sarcoma of lymph nodes is reported. The patient was a 75-year-old man who suffered from edema, fever, maculopapular skin rashes and polyclonal hypergammaglo-bulinemia and died 10 days after admission to hospital for acute tubular necrosis and pulmonary edema. No other localizations of Kaposi's sarcoma were detected at autopsy; this is a very uncommon finding in Western countries and in adult people.
