RATIONALE: Nicotine may stimulate the immune system to kill Kaposi's sarcoma cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well the nicotine skin patch works in treating patients with Kaposi's sarcoma.

OBJECTIVES:

- Evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of transdermal nicotine applied to lesions in patients with classic Kaposi's Sarcoma.

OUTLINE: This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Patients apply a nicotine dermal patch to a selected lesion and a placebo patch to the other lesion, replacing the same type of fresh patch every other day, during the first 2 weeks, increasing the nicotine dose in week 3 and again in week 5 for a total of 15 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
