Cutaneous Kaposi Sarcoma And Plain Chest Radiographic Findings
Main Article Content
Abstract
The advent of epidemic (AIDS related) Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) in our environment engendered this study that looks at the plain chest radiographic features of KS patients seen at a tropical tertiary referral centre. Features observed ranged from clear lung fields to a variety of other chest manifestations in the hilum and lung parenchyma. However, findings observed may well manifest in other types of infections or neoplastic disorders.
