Abstract
From 1983 to 1987, 45 Kaposi's sarcomas (KS) were diagnosed at the University Hospital in Bangui; 37 cases were easily classified as either endemic or AIDS-related KS on clinical grounds and HIV serology. Moreover, probably due to the stage at which patients consulted and lesions were sampled, noticeable histopathological differences were observed between the two clinical presentations. But for 8/45 which we classified as "borderline KS", strong discrepancies occurred between clinical aspects, patient evolution, HIV serology and histopathology. In two cases, HIV-positive patients had typical endemic non-evolutive KS and have survived 15 and 36 months.Entities:
