Overview
Kaposi's sarcoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause similar cutaneous, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal involvement, such as Bacillary angiomatosis, AIDS-related lymphoma , and [differential dx3].
Differentiating Kaposi's Sarcoma from other Diseases
Kaposi's sarcoma should be differentiated form the following diseases.
- Kaposi's sarcoma cutaneous lesions must be differentiated from:
- Bacillary angiomatosis
- Masson's hemangioma
- Angiosarcoma
- Seborrheic Keratosis
- Erythematous lupus
- Benign lymphangioendothelioma
- Cavernous hemangioma
- Kaposi's sarcoma pulmonary lesions must be differentiated from:
- AIDS-related lymphoma
- Atypical pneumonia
- Fungal or mycobacterial infection
- Lung cancer
- Metastatic lung cancer
- Kaposi's sarcoma pulmonary lesions must be differentiated from:
- Peptic ulcer disease
- Inflammatory bowel diseas (IBD)
- Gastrointestinal tract cancer
