Classification
- According to the clinical setting of the disease, clinical presentation, epidemiology, and prognosis Kaposi's sarcoma may be classified into five different subtypes which include:[1][2]
- Classic Kaposi's sarcoma
- African cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma
- African lymphadenopathic Kaposi's sarcoma
- Iatrogenic Kaposi's sarcoma (immunosuppression-associated Kaposi's sarcoma)
- AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma
- African cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma and African lymphadenopathic Kaposi's sarcoma could be classified under the term of endemic Kaposi's sarcomas.
