[Gastrointestinal involvement in Kaposi's sarcoma associated with AIDS. Radiologic findings]
Abstract
Two cases are presented of Kaposi's sarcoma (SK) associated with AIDS and gastrointestinal affectation. The visceral extension of Kaposi's sarcoma has been related to a poorer prognosis, and in some cases, it is responsible for the appearance of symptoms, particularly gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The radiological patterns of presentation of the gastrointestinal lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma are described, this being the most frequent location of the disease after the skin and lymph nodes.
