Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been reported in 6% of malignancies of solid organ transplant recipients. Most of the observations have been in recipients of renal allografts but, so far, KS has not been described in lung transplantation. We report a case of bronchial KS occurring in a black patient 6 months after single lung-transplantation. Skin lesions were absent and, interestingly, KS lesions were observed solely in the trachea and the native lung. Following reduction of the immunosuppressive regimen a complete remission was obtained 1 year later. Up to the present time, this clinical remission is very encouraging, but close surveillance remains necessary to detect rejection episodes or the reappearance of KS following manipulation of the immunosuppressive therapy.
