Abstract

Globally, 35 million people are infected with HIV, and this population has an increased risk of developing cancer.

We are reporting the case of a 44-year-old male patient who is HIV-positive. He is a smoker and an occasional drinker but is otherwise healthy. He was diagnosed with a visceral form of Kaposi sarcoma in January 2022 and has received 12 cycles of oncologic treatment with liposomal doxorubicin at our facility.
