Patients treated with immunosuppressive drugs can develop cancers. The authors present two cases of Kaposi's sarcoma in kidney transplant patients who had been treated with azathioprine, steroids and cyclosporin-A; during this treatment the Langerhans cells decreased and Kaposi's sarcoma appeared. Discontinuation or reduction of the dosage of cyclosporin-A led to complete regression of the illness, and the Langerhans cells reappeared. We suggest that cyclosporin-A damages the immunological function of the epidermal Langerhans cells, and that this is the primary factor in the development of Kaposi's sarcoma.
