AB Two patients with Kaposi's sarcoma developing in an area of
lymphedematous arm postmastectomy are reported. The Kaposi's sarcoma
occurred after latent periods of 26 and 7 years following radical and
modified-radical mastectomy, respectively, in the edematous tissue of
the ipsilateral arm. The cutaneous nodules were purple in color and
ranged in size from a few millimeters to > 1 cm in diameter. The results
of routine laboratory tests were all within normal limits. Human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody and cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen,
using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were negative.
