El sarcoma de Kaposi (SK) es un tumor angioproliferativo asociado al virus del herpes 8. Según la forma clínica que desarrolle y el estado inmunitario paciente, puede manifestarse como una lesión cutánea única o ser enfermedad diseminada.
 tratamiento dependerá clínica, extensión las lesiones condiciones médicas preexistentes. Esto irá desde observación los tratamientos tópicos e intralesi...

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a vascular tumor that classically presents as multiple violaceous lesions on the extremities in widespread manner. A 60-year-old male with history of immunosuppression setting bilateral lung transplant presented numerous papulonodules and patches localized left flank, biopsy confirming diagnosis KS. We present rare case KS presenting segmental distribution review availabl...

Indivíduos com deficiência no sistema imunológico são mais propensos a desenvolverem lesões orais, que podem ser observadas em 70-90% dos pacientes portadores do Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV). Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo é identificar na literatura as manifestações orais prevalentes indivíduos HIV positivos, bem como conduta Cirurgião-dentista. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativ...

Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is the most common malignancy associated with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and is caused by Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV 8) or Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV). In about 90% of cases Kaposi Sarcoma is associated with cutaneous lesions; however visceral disease can occur in the absence of cutaneous involvement. In the era of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HA...

BACKGROUND In this study, the clinical and morphological features of vesiculobullous lesions observed in Kaposi sarcoma are analyzed, and the features of bullous Kaposi sarcoma cases are emphasized. METHODS A total of 178 biopsy materials of 75 cases diagnosed as classic-type cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma were reviewed. Twenty-five cases showing vesiculobullous features were included in the study....

Pulmonary function was measured in 169 male patients seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TLCO) in symptom free patients and patients with persistent generalised lymphadenopathy was normal (greater than 83% of predicted values). Patients with the AIDS related complex, non-pulmonary Kaposi sarcoma, and non-pulmonary non-Kaposi sarcoma ...

Kaposi sarcoma; Metatarsalgia; Osseous metastases; Magnetic resonance imaging Abstract Background: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative neoplasm that is commonly associated with human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). KS with osseous involvement is a rare occurrence, and is far more common in acquired immunodeficienc...

Recent reports link Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection of bone marrow cells to bone marrow failure and lymphoproliferative syndromes. The identity of the infected marrow cells, however, remains unclear. Other work has demonstrated that circulating mononuclear cells can harbor KSHV where its detection predicts the onset and severity of Kaposi sarcoma. In either setting, bone ...

MicroRNAs (miRNA) have emerged as key regulators of cell lineage differentiation and cancer. We used precursor miRNA profiling by a novel real-time QPCR method (i) to define progressive stages of endothelial cell transformation cumulating in Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and (ii) to identify specific miRNAs that serve as biomarkers for tumor progression. We were able to compare primary patient biopsies t...
