Kaposi's sarcoma in polar eskimos

Abstract

Two cases of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) are described in patients of pure Eskimo trait from the northernmost part of the world. The clinical and histological findings corresponded to KS in other parts of the world. This report on KS in Eskimos from the sparsely populated Arctic areas may support the opinion that KS is more common outside Africa than the literature indicates.
