Abstrakt: We describe the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian woman with Kaposi's sarcoma. After nearly 15 years of very benign course, a sudden exacerbation of the disease Led to extensive involvement of the lower limbs and amputation of distal phalanxes of toes on the Left foot. Of note, a previously overlooked adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid and oesophageaI candidiasis were also detected in the absence of any obvious cause of immunosuppression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
