Cyclosporine-Induced Kaposi Sarcoma in a Patient With Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative neoplasm associated with human herpesvirus-8. Gastrointestinal KS has been well documented in immunosuppressed solid organ transplant patients, with only 26 iatrogenic cases published in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We report a 24-year-old patient with ulcerative colitis, maintained on cyclosporine for 2 years, who presented with watery, nonbloody diarrhea and weight loss. Colonoscopy revealed human herpesvirus-8-positive hemorrhagic nodules throughout … Show more

“…The incidence of colonic KS in HIV-negative patients is rare, but inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with steroids or cyclosporine have been reported to develop colonic KS. 16,17 KS has also been observed in patients with MS on fingolimod, a different S1p modulator. 18 However, to the best of our knowledge, the present case is the first reported case of KS in a patient on ozanimod, with multiple lesions developing in the colon and on the skin.…”

“…In der englischsprachigen Literatur wird zunehmend über HIV-negative gastrointestinale Kaposi-Sarkome bei therapierefraktärer Colitis ulcerosa berichtet. Einschließlich der eigenen Beobachtung wurden unseres Wissens nach insgesamt 30 Fälle publiziert [ 4 , 8 , 10 , 12 ]. Bei unterschiedlichen autoimmunen Grunderkrankungen, so bei Colitis ulcerosa, Morbus Crohn, rheumatoider Arthritis, Psoriasis oder Psoriasisarthritis scheint die Therapie mit einer Reihe von Immunsuppressiva oder Immunmodulatoren als seltene Komplikation die Entstehung eines Kaposi-Sarkoms zu begünstigen.…”
