This review provides a comprehensive overview of the broad clinicopathologic spectrum of
cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions. Variants discussed include: usual KS lesions
associated with disease progression (ie patch, plaque and nodular stage); morphologic
subtypes alluded to in the older literature such as anaplastic and telangiectatic KS, as well
as several lymphedematous variants; and numerous recently described variants including
hyperkeratotic, keloidal, micronodular, pyogenic granuloma-like, ecchymotic, and …
Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the broad clinicopathologic spectrum of cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions. Variants discussed include: usual KS lesions associated with disease progression (i.e. patch, plaque and nodular stage); morphologic subtypes alluded to in the older literature such as anaplastic and telangiectatic KS, as well as several lymphedematous variants; and numerous recently described variants including hyperkeratotic, keloidal, micronodular, pyogenic granuloma-like, ecchymotic, and intravascular KS. Involuting lesions as a result of treatment related regression are also presented.
