Abstract

We have used a combination of cyclosporin A and cyclophosphamide to treat a patient with multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) complicated by visceral Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Beneficial effects were observed on both MCD and KS lesions: the patient's clinical, radiological and laboratory findings have been stable for 27 months.
