Abstract
Metastatic lesions of the CNS developed in two male patients with disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma. One patient was a homosexual, but the second patient had no apparent risk factors for disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma. These cases indicate that CNS involvement by tumor should be suspected in patients with Kaposi's sarcoma who exhibit abnormal neurologic signs or symptoms.
