Clinical and endoscopic findings of patients with cutaneous Kaposi sarcomaand gastrointestinal involvement. Experience in a single center of Lima-Peruin the last 3 years.

Introduction: Kaposi sarcoma is a low-grade angioproliferative neoplasm strongly associated with infection by herpes virus type 8 (HHV-8). Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is an infrequent finding, whose clinical and endoscopic characteristics are poorly defined in the literature.

Objective: The aim of our study was to describe the clinical and endoscopic findings of patients with gastrointestinal Kaposi Sarcoma.

Histoplasmosis-induced ileal perforation in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome: Case report.

Intestinal involvement with disseminated histoplasmosis is common in some populations infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), especially in those who come from tropical zones. We report the case of a 29-year-old male patient, from a tropical zone, with HIV infection and a CD value less than 50 cells/mm, with a history of abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea, and weight loss. On presentation, he was pale, sweaty, and had abdominal rebound tenderness.
