Kaposi's sarcoma, or idiopathic multiple hemorrhagic sarcoma, is a multifocal neoplasm with a possible viral etiology which predominantly affects the skin. Internal lesions occur in 10-20 percent of patients and are important due to their hemorrhagic tendencies. However, due to their lack of specific symptoms, internal tumors of Kaposi's sarcoma are rarely diagnosed prior to death. Two patients with unusual pulmonary and cardiac manifestations of Kaposi's sarcoma are presented and the thoracic complications of Kaposi's sarcoma are discussed.
