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.
