Abstract

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a low-grade vascular tumor believed to be caused by a virus known as Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus/ human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV/HHV8) and is usually but not always associated with HIV infection. Although it can affect any organ or anatomical location, kaposi sarcoma lesions are most frequently found in mucosal surfaces and the skin.
