Kaposi's sarcoma of the vulva: a case report and brief review.

Abstract
A report of a case of Kaposi's sarcoma of the vulva is presented. A complete response of the tumor was obtained after 1 treatment cycle using a triple-drug chemotherapy regimen of actinomycin D, vincristine, and 5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-trazeno)imidazole-4-carboxamide (DTIC). Death occurred due to severe erythema multiforme, which was indirectly related to a complication of the chemotherapy.
