Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE ASHM5/94349076
AB A 29 year old male homosexual with stage IV HIV infection presented with
extensive bilateral KS involving the hard palate and occluding the
palatal airspace. Clinical management involved a combined therapy
approach including chemotherapy (vincristine bleomycin), surgical
de-bulking, radiotherapy and electrocautery over a 10 month period. The
case illustrates the difficulty in treating and obtaining remission of
large oral KS lesions as well as the many side effects of these
therapies. Early intervention by excision (surgical, laser or
electrocautery) or sclerosing agents (3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate)
could afford significant benefits to both the clinician and the patient
in the management of oral KS.
