AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma of the sphenoid sinus

J Otolaryngol. 1992 Aug;21(4):235-7.

Abstract

The head and neck region is frequently involved by AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, the oral cavity being the most common site of occurrence. We report on the first case of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma involving the sphenoid sinus where radionuclide bone scanning and MRI were effective in suggesting the diagnosis.
