AbstractKaposi's sarcoma (KS) is characterised by vascular proliferation, and has received renewed interest. Four major clinical types are recognised - the classical, endemic, immunosuppressed, and epidemic forms. Reports of KS in Chinese people have been scarce. In this article, the authors report three Hong Kong Chinese with KS who presented to them over the two years, from 1994-1996. All three patients tested negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies and were not immunosuppressed, and thus conform to the classical type. A summary of demographic data and clinical information of the three patients is shown in the article.
