Abstract
- Kaposi sarcoma is a lympho-angioproliferative disease of the skin and viscera. Because the natural history of Kaposi sarcoma is variable, the assessment of therapy may be difficult and optimal therapy has yet to be determined. Pentoxifylline has been used to treat various dermatologic diseases, but its effectiveness in Kaposi sarcoma has not been reported. We now report a case of Kaposi sarcoma in a 76-year-old man who improved after treatment with oral pentoxifylline.
