Abstract: © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2020. No commercial re-use. See rights and permissions. Published by BMJ. We report the case of a 57-year-old Caucasian woman with AIDS-related disseminated Kaposi sarcoma (KS) characterised by the combination of several unusual features. The chylous nature of the pleural effusions, the documented parietal pleural involvement at thoracoscopy and the marked clinical worsening through an immune reconstitution syndrome following antiretroviral therapy initiation represent several rare situations that occurred in the same female patient. In addition, the use of indwelling pleural catheters for dyspnoea palliation also represents a rare therapeutic intervention. This case is a reminder of the possibility of AIDS-related pleural KS, now uncommon in the era of antiretroviral therapy.
