Abstract
Polypoid endobronchial lesions occurred in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with recent fever, skin lesions, lymphadenopathy, lung infiltrates, and pleural effusions. His condition improved with antimicrobials and vincristine. After therapy ceased, skin lesions recurred and gastroesophageal mucosal lesions developed. Bacillary angiomatosis was identified during retrospective analysis of skin and endobronchial biopsy specimens.
