Endoscopy
- Findings on endoscopy suggestive of Kaposi's sarcoma include localized purpuric lesion located with the stomach and duodenum.[1]
Bronchoscopy
- Findings on bronchoscopy suggestive of Kaposi's sarcoma include localized purpuric located at the terminal airways.[1]
Biopsy
- The definitive diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma is confirmed by a biopsy. Charecterstic findings for Kaposi's sarcoma on microscopic histopathological analysis can be found here.[1]
