  ABSTRACT: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by vascular injuries, and bosentan has recently been proved to be efficacious for the prevention of new digital ulcers in SSc. We herein report a case of SSc in a patient with refractory digital ulcers and gangrene treated with bosentan. Stenosis of the ulnar artery, evaluated by magnetic resonance angiography, was attenuated by the bosentan treatment, suggesting that bosentan exerts a reverse remodeling effect against the pathological organic changes of arteries in SSc.

  ABSTRACT: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a vascular lesion of low-grade malignant potential caused by the complex interactions between geographic, genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. We recently experienced a rare case of KS associated with rheumatoid arthritis in a patient receiving corticosteroids and tacrolimus; the KS demonstrated unusually aggressive clinical behavior. We herein report the details of the clinical course and discuss the possible contribution of corticosteroids and tacrolimus to the development of aggressive KS in the present case.
