Extracutaneous manifestations of Kaposi's sarcoma: a systemic lymphoblastoma.

Kaposi's sarcoma may affect any system of the body. Serious difficulties occur only when the heart, lungs or gastrointestinal tract are affected. Usually, involvement in other viscera causes no clinical symptoms.This neoplasm is thought to be a low-grade lymphoblastoma. This idea of relationship is based on clinical and histologic association of Kaposi's sarcoma with the lymphoblastomas more commonly than would be anticipated from the rarity of the conditions under consideration. This concept is strengthened by the occasional seeming mutation of Kaposi's sarcoma into a lymphoblastoma. The associated reticuloendothelial hyperplasia in Kaposi's sarcoma is another link in the evidence of relationship.

Melanoma-simulating nodules due to capillary aneurysms.

Six cases of a lesion simulating a melanoma clinically but due to an aneurysmal dilatation of a capillary with thrombosis are presented. The necessity of distinguishing these tumors from malignant melanomas is stressed. The thesis that every black, flat, growing lesion is not a melanoma is emphasized. Therefore, it follows that wanton sacrifice of adjacent normal tissue is not indicated in such lesions unless there is histologic proof or indisputable clinical evidence of malignancy. This is not to be construed as advocating that one should minimize the growing flat black nodule nor that histologic examination is not essential in such cases.
