AB  - SUMMARYThere  are  four  major  subtypes  of  Kaposi  sarcoma  (KS):  classic,  endemic,  HIV-associated,  and  iatrogenic.  Clinical  characteristics  overlap,  but  certain  features  are  more  prominent  in  some  variants  than  in  others.KS  requires  infection  with  human  herpesvirus-8  (HHV-8),  though  this  is  not  sufficient  to  cause  the  neoplasm.  Most  patients  have  some  level  of  immune  dysregulation.Histologically,  KS  presents  as  a  patch,  plaque,  or  nodule  characterized  by  spindle  cell  vascular  proliferation  with  extravasated  red  blood  cells,  lymphocytic  infiltrates,  and  hyaline  globules.Therapy  selection  is  based  on  clinical  subtype,  disease  progression,  distribution,  and  severity.
