ABSTRACT
B cell lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma are the most common tumors in AIDS patients. They show more aggressive behavior and poor prognosis in AIDS patients than in the general population. Lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS patients are associated with Epstein-Barr virus and human herpesvirus 8, respectively. We reported herein a case of lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma in an AIDS patient. He presented with a mass on the tongue base and a red papule on the posterior wall of the oropharynx. On the basis of his- tologic findings, immunohistochemical study, and PCR, his illnesses were diagnosed as B cell lymphoma, combined with early Kaposi's sarcoma. Unfortunately, he did not receive any treatment and died of malnutrition 1 month later. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of coexisting lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma from an AIDS patient in Korea.
