Kaposi's sarcoma is a cancer found in the tissues under the skin or in the mucous membranes, the lining of the mouth, nose, and anus. It can also affect the internal organs. It's the most common cancer found in people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and occurs as a complication of AIDS. Men infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are affected about eight times more often than women with HIV. It is also more common among people taking immunosuppressive medications (for example, organ transplant recipients).
