A patient with Kaposi's sarcoma and autoimmune hemolytic anemia is reported. Only two similar cases are yet on report. As in these previously reported cases, in our patient there was visceral involvement with Kaposi's sarcoma. The autoimmune hemolytic anemia in our patient was detected at an advanced stage of the disorder, whereas in the remaining two, it preceded the Kaposi's sarcoma by one to eight years.
