ABSTRACT
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a vascular / mesenchymal tumor with an indefinite degree of malignancy, caused by complex etiopathogenetic factors including Human Herpes Virus-8 infection of immunocompromised patients. For example, KS is more common in adult men with HIV. We describe 2 very rare cases of iatrogenic KS in children after hematopoietic stem cell transplant with isolated organ damage (case 1 lung; case 2 inguinal lymph node). KS is a potential complication of bone marrow transplant in pediatric patients and can occur in different age groups and at atypical sites.
