| Core Tip |
Gastrointestinal Kaposi’s sarcoma (GI-KS) is more common than originally thought and the majority of patients are asymptomatic and remain undiagnosed. Therefore, clinicians should maintain a high suspicion, especially among acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients. Screening endoscopies are frequently per-formed and a recent retrospective study suggested using certain clinical factors (low CD4 cell count of < 100 cell/μL, men who have sex with men, and presence of cutaneous Kaposi’s) which may predict occurrence of GI-KS endoscopically. Endoscopy to detect GI-KS prior to clinical symptom development is desired as initiation of combined highly active antiretroviral therapy and liposomal doxorubicin therapy has shown to improve outcome.
