Abstract
Kaposi''s sarcoma occurred in a 65 yr old Mexican woman who had been treated for dermatomyositis with prenisone for 2 1/2 yr and with azathioprine for 4 mo. Kaposi''s sarcoma, a malignant neoplasm not usually associated with dermatomyositis, may be a consequence of immunosuppressive therapy in this patient.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
