Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical features of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related Kaposi's sarcoma(AIDS-KS) in head and neck. METHODS The clinical data of 20 inpatients with AIDS-KS in head and neck from June 2009 to September 2016 in Beijing Ditan Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS All 20 patients were male, median age 38.50±10.98. One case was Manchu, 1 case was of Uygur, and others were Han nationality. There were 7 cases with homosexuality history, 2 cases with blood transfusion history, and 1 case with prostitution history. Mass in head and face was the first symptom in 10 cases. The head and neck skin and mucosa were involved, including 2 cases with nasal mucosa involvement, 4 cases with auricle skin involvement, 8 cases with oral mucosal involvement, 3 cases with facial skin involvement, 1 case with neck skin involvement, 1 case with eyelid conjunctiva involvement. Four cases had disseminated lesions. When diagnosed, the CD4+T lymphocyte were 52.55±47.87/mm3. The CD4+T were less than 200/mm3 in all of the patients, including CD4+T＜50/mm3 in 15 cases(75％). After treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy combined with or without chemotherapy, 12 cases were discharged. Eight cases died due to respiratory failure or septic shock or other reasons. CONCLUSION Kaposi's sarcoma of the head and neck might be the first visit of AIDS patients. Some of the patients get partial remission after highly active antiretroviral therapy and the overall prognosis is poor.
