✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS), one of the defining tumors of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), is rarely identified in the major salivary glands.

To the authors' knowledge, no previous published series has evaluated the clinicopathologic aspects of this tumor in major salivary glands.

METHODS.

Six cases of salivary gland KS, diagnosed between 1970 and 1998, were retrieved from the files of the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Registry of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Histologic features were reviewed and special stains, immunohistochemical studies, and in situ hybridization were performed (n Ο­ 4). Patient follow-up data were obtained.
