Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma is uncommon in the U.S.A. and common in Africa. Men are affected at least 4 times more frequently than females. It occurs simultaneously with lymphomas and resembles them in several ways. Radiation therapy controls the disease well. Ten patients were seen with the disease. Most had a relatively benign course, especially the 4 women. Treatment with supervoltage irradiation and cryosurgery was effective in controlling local disease.
