Kaposi sarcoma in a female patient with multiple sclerosis: a case report
This case expands the known clinical and demographic spectrum of Kaposi sarcoma, underscoring the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion in atypical patient populations to prevent diagnostic delays. The co-occurrence of multiple sclerosis and Kaposi sarcoma underscores the importance of recognizing iatrogenic Kaposi sarcoma in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy and calls for further research into the complex intersection of autoimmune disorders and iatrogenic treatment-related immune dysregulation in oncogenesis. This report underscores the importance of individualized, persistent therapeutic strategies in managing Kaposi sarcoma.
