Abstract
This paper discusses the case of a HIV-, HHV8+ patient, diagnosed with classic Kaposi's sarcoma, who developed multicentric plasma cell variant Castleman's disease. The coincidence of two or more HHV8-related illnesses in a HIV-negative patient has rarely been described in medical literature. Treatment with rituximab combined with CHOP chemotherapy was effective in this case, and no worsening of the patient's KS was observed.
