Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma has been occasionally reported in heart transplant recipients, but its occurrence without mucocutaneous involvement is extremely rare. In these uncommon cases, the tumor can be indistinguishable from opportunistic infections, making diagnosis difficult. The case of a patient in whom visceral Kaposi's sarcoma was diagnosed by necropsy 6 months after heart transplantation is reported.
