 AB    Two patients with Kaposi's sarcoma developing in an area of
       lymphedematous arm postmastectomy are reported. The Kaposi's sarcoma
       occurred after latent periods of 26 and 7 years following radical and
       modified-radical mastectomy, respectively, in the edematous tissue of
       the ipsilateral arm. The cutaneous nodules were purple in color and
       ranged in size from a few millimeters to > 1 cm in diameter. The results
       of routine laboratory tests were all within normal limits. Human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody and cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen,
       using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were negative.
