Case report: Kaposi's sarcoma of the rectum--treatment with radiation therapy

T Kaufmann, LZ Nisce and M Coleman
Department of Radiation Oncology, New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, Cornell University Medical College, New York, New York, USA.

The number of patients afflicted with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is on the rise. About 30% of AIDS patients develop Kaposi's sarcoma. Although the skin is the most common site of involvement, lesions may encompass the gastrointestinal tract. The purpose of this report is to describe a patient with AIDS related Kaposi's sarcoma of the rectum, successfully treated with radiation therapy. We believe this to be a useful technique in the treatment of this condition.
