ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The purpose is to discuss abdominal tuberculosis mimicking malignancy involving the lymph nodes, peritoneum, and the GI tract. CONCLUSION: Awareness of the pathophysiology and imaging appearance on various modalities of abdominal tuberculosis involving the lymph nodes, peritoneum, and the GI tract that may simulate malignancy can aid differentiation, diagnosis, and therapy, particularly in areas where tuberculosis is endemic.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a form of cancer that primarily appears on the skin but can potentially involve internal organs. There are several types of KS. The purpose of this article is to discuss the manifestations of KS and their appearance on imaging, the differential diagnoses associated with these findings, and molecular markers associated with KS that can aid appropriate diagnosis and therapy.
