Abstract

A case of Kaposi's sarcoma involving the small bowel two years after receiving a renal transplant is described. Immunosuppression had been achieved using cyclosporine A and prednisolone. Lesions extended from the duodenum to the ileum ; radiologically, they were demonstrated on small bowel follow-through study and computed tomography as multiple small nodular intraluminal masses with or without central umbilication, and endoscopically, were seen as intramural mucosal elevations with a central crater-like ulceration.
