Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is characterised by proliferation of vascular endothelial and lymphoreticular cells, frequently with a multicentric expression developed from a single node and evolving to multiple cutaneous lumps or plaque-like appearance. Four types of KS with similar histological patterns have been described in terms of their clinical and epidemiological features: classic KS, endemic (African) KS, iatrogenic KS and epidemic (AIDS-related) KS. The differences in clinical features are quite relevant: classic KS is usually limited to the lower extremities; whereas immunodeficiency-related diseases frequently involve several organs. A case of a 67-year-old woman with metastatic KS and unproven immunodeficiency is presented. |
