Abstract
A case of coexisting lymphangiosarcoma and Kaposi's sarcoma that occurred in a female renal transplant recipient is presented. Both sarcomas were localized to the skin and were slowly progressive over several years. The coexistence of these two sarcomas may indicate that they arose from a common precursor endothelial cell and that systemic immune suppression may be important in the pathogenesis of both these malignancies.
