A young Saudi female with combined hemophagocytic lympho-histiocytosis and Kikuchi's disease: A case report.

Kikuchi's disease is an idiopathic self-limiting condition first reported in Japan in 1972. However, hemophagocytic lympho-histiocytosis is a condition that occurs due to overstimulation of the immune system. The presence of the two conditions is rare, and the clinical observation of this unusual clinical syndrome is worth reporting.

Kaposi's sarcoma associated with adult dermatomyositis.

We report a case involving a 73-year-old Saudi man diagnosed with dermatomyositis who subsequently developed Kaposi's sarcoma one month later. He had difficulty in rising from a chair and increased leg weakness while climbing stairs or walking. He was unable to comb his hair and had greater dysphagia with liquids than with solid foods.
