Summary
Kaposi sarcoma remains the most common malignancy among persons with HIV.

New therapeutic approaches for local disease are needed.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of intralesional bevacizumab + HAART vs HAART alone in treating localized Kaposi´s sarcoma of the airway in patients with AIDS.
