- Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is human herpes-8 asscociated vascular tumor which is characterized by pink-livedoid papules, nodules and plaques, clinically. It was classifed into 4 groups including classical KS, endemic- African type KS, iatrogenic KS and AIDS related (epidemic) KS. The lesions are usually asymptomatic and have a slowly growing nature and they may affect both skin and mucosal surfaces. Treatment is generally directed towards regressing the symptoms and stopping the progression of the disease. In this review, the clinical findings, pathological features and treatment options of KS were shortly summarized in light of the recent knowledge.
