要旨 HIV感染者は,日和見腫瘍として悪性腫瘍を発症しやすい.その中でもKaposi肉腫が多く,その病因はhuman herpesvirus-8感染である.〔症例1〕は23歳男性で,十二指腸から上部空腸にKaposi肉腫が認められた.病変は肺にも拡がっており,HAART(highly active antiretroviral therapy)と抗癌剤(pegylated liposomal doxorubicin)を併用したが,肺病変の進行により,入院5か月後に死亡した.〔症例2〕は35歳男性で,食道~上行結腸にかけて広範囲にKaposi肉腫が認められた.HAART単独で改善し,1年後の内視鏡検査で病変は消失した.消化管Kaposi肉腫は赤紫色調の粘膜下腫瘤であり,比較的特徴的な内視鏡像を示す.
KS(Kaposi's sarcoma)is commonly observed in untreated male homosexual human immunodeficiency virus infected individuals and is associated with advanced immune deficiency. The etiology of KS is thought to be human HHV-8(human herpesvirus-8), and KS of the gastrointestinal tract is usually asymptomatic.
〔Case 1〕A 23-year-old male Japanese was diagnosed with AIDS(acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)and KS, which was found on endoscopy not only in the duodenum and upper jejunum, with several ulcerous lesions, but in multiple organs such as the lungs, lymph nodes, and heart. Histopathlogy showed a proliferation of spindle cells positive for CD31, D2-40 and HHV-8. Although HAART(highly active antiretroviral treatment)and chemotherapy(pegylated liposomal doxorubicin)provided temporary improvement, five months after initiation of the treatments the patient died from KS of the lung.
〔Case 2〕A 35-year-old male Japanese was diagnosed with AIDS and KS, which was found on endoscopy from the esophagus to the ascending colon. Histopathlogy showed a proliferation of spindle cells positive for CD31,CD34 and HHV-8. HAART has had a favorable influence on HHV-8 replication inhibition, and the patient has achieved complete remission of KS.
