• W2984043669 abstract "Background: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is increasing in Iraq and worldwide. Since the first Gulf War 1990, there was marked increase in cases of classic KS among Iraqi people, in concordance with the rise of incidence of other hematological malignancies. Objective: The aim of the present work is to re-evaluate the current status of KS in Iraq in comparison with the results of the previous Iraqi studies. Patients and Methods: This case series descriptive, clinico-histopathological study was carried out at the Center of Dermatology and Venereology-Medical City, Baghdad, Iraq during the period from October2012 to October 2018. Fifty patients with Kaposi sarcoma were included in this work. A detailed history was obtained from each patient regarding all sociodemographic aspects related to the disease. Full clinical assessment was also carried out. Incisional or excisional biopsy was performed from each patient according to the size and site of the tumor for histopathological confirmation. The following investigations were performed; complete blood picture and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, liver function test, renal function test, chest x-ray, ultrasound of the abdomen, and anti- human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody titer. Results: A total of 50 patients with KS were seen within 6 years. There were 38 males and 12 females with male to female ratio 3.1:1. Their ages ranged from 32-92 (64.55 ± 15.72) years. The duration of the disease ranged from 1-60 (9.02 ± 13.67) months. Sites of predilection were distal extremities in 41(82%) patients. Oral mucosa involvement was seen in only 2(4%) of patients. Palpable lymph nodes were detected in 5(10%) of patients, while visceral involvement was not detected in any patients. The disease was generally asymptomatic in 42 (84%) patients and only 8 (16%) patients presented with slight itching or bleeding from the lesions. The most common type of KS sarcoma was the classic KS in 42(84%) cases followed by iatrogenic KS, 7(14%) cases and HIV related KS in one (2%) patient. The geographical distribution of the patients was as follows: 43(86%) patients were from cities in the middle of Iraq, 4 (8%) patients were from the south of Iraq and 3 (6%) patients were from the north of Iraq. Conclusion: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is increasing in Iraq. Although the exact cause for the increase is unclear, this could be linked to depleted uranium exposure that was used during the consequent wars in Iraq from 1990 to 2010." @default.
