Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) appears to develop in association with kidney transplantation, but unlikely with dialysis. We report two cases of classic KS that occurred in patients receiving short-term (less than 3 yr) dialysis. They have been suffering from chronic renal failure due to tuberculosis and
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare condition that always occurs after acute or chronic renal failure with or without dialysis. The vast majority of cases in the literature are adults, and postmortem findings have been reported in only 5 cases. We report a 15-year-old male who developed
Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma is a skin lesion that is associated with chronic venous insufficiency and/or congenital arteriovenous fistulas. Theoretically, this lesion could also be expected in connection with hemodialysis vascular accesses. Nevertheless, this disease has been reported only once in
Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma which develops due to arteriovenous fistulae for haemodialysis is relatively well known. In contrast, nail changes associated with pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma or venous hypertension are rare. We report a novel case of pincer nail deformity associated with pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma
BACKGROUND
Iatrogenic Kaposi's sarcoma is widely reported after transplantation. Less commonly, it occurs in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy for ANCA associated vasculitis. We report here the rare association of Kaposi's sarcoma, prurigo nodularis and ANCA associated vasculitis in a
Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor of the skin or mucosae usually observed after irritative processes. We report the case of a non-compliant hemodialysis patient with severe hyperparathyroidism who rapidly developed growing pyogenic granuloma of the distal part of the left thumb. This
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been associated with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) in renal transplant recipients. On the other hand, there are only a few reported cases of KS in patients with end stage renal failure receiving hemodialysis. Here, we report a case of HHV-8 positive, disseminated KS, in a
Soft tissue sarcomas typically present as soft, painless masses on an extremity. Here, we present a patient with metastatic soft tissue sarcomas at his dialysis access site. This association with dialysis access has not been documented previously. A 62-year-old man presented with a nonhealing wound
Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). In this paper we attempted to confirm the connection between dialysis, HHV-8, and KS by examining the case of an elderly haemodialysis nonimmunosuppressed male patient with end-stage renal disease, who
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a multicentric proliferative vascular tumor involving the skin and other organs. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been detected in KS lesions and is considered the putative causative agent of KS. The relationship between chronic renal failure, HHV-8, and KS is not clear. KS
Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is driven by human herpes virus 8 causing vascular proliferation which is induced by loss of immune function most often due to HIV or immunosuppressants. KS occurs with increased incidence in kidney transplant recipients, but rarely is disseminated. We report a 64-year-old male
The association between Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and human herpes virus eight (HHV-8) infection is rarely reported in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We report here the rare association of KS, HHV-8 and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as well as syphilis in a HD patient. We report the case of a
BACKGROUND
We wanted to evaluate the impact of peritoneal dialysis on trabectedin therapy in terms of side effects, response and levels in the blood and dialysate of a patient on peritoneal dialysis for end-stage renal failure caused by previous ifosfamide therapy. This has not yet been reported in
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also known as Masson's tumor, is a rare nonneoplastic vascular lesion caused by the abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells. Clinically and radiologically, IPEH presents as a soft tissue mass that may simulate and be mistaken for a
