Abstract

The authors report on the case of a patient with polymy‐ositis who was given immunosuppressive therapy and then developed Kaposi's sarcoma. Subsequently, the polymyositis was treated with high dose intravenous immunoglobulin, and the Kaposi's sarcoma regressed abruptly. The association between these two diseases and the beneficial effect of intravenous immunoglobulin on Kaposi's sarcoma are discussed. Cancer 1994; 73:2859–61.
