1. AIDS and endemic Kaposi's sarcoma development : comparison by histopathology, virology (HHV8/KSHV) and cytogenetics
Abstract : Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a highly and abnormally vascularized tumor-like lesion with spindle cells (SC) affecting the skin, lymphnodes and viscera which is found in four different clinico-epidemiological forms as Classic KS (CKS), Iatrogenic KS (IKS), Endemic KS (EKS) and AIDS-associated KS (AKS). All KS forms develop from early stages of patch/plaque to late, nodular tumors and are associated with Kaposi's sarcomaassociated herpesvirus or human herpesvirus-8 (KSHV/ HHV-8). READ MORE
