 AB    Oro-facial epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma (eKS) was observed in 124 patients
       (123 homo-/bisexual men, average age 37.9 years, and one 35-year-old
       transsexual patient). Average survival time was 1 year 9 months (range:
       3 months 4 years 6 months). 57.3% of the patients had died. The hard
       and/or soft palate, gingiva and tongue were most frequently affected,
       with falling frequency within these locations. Oral manifestations of
       eKS appear to be common; treatment modalities must be optimised.
