Abstract
Cancer in transplant patients is a recognized disease, with risk factors demonstrated and an incidence of 3.12 times the general population. Kaposi’s sarcoma occurs 400-500 times more frequently in renal transplant recipients. We review the literature of the first case of Kaposi’s sarcoma in our renal transplant group at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio.
