Overview
Kaposi's sarcoma may be classified according to the clinical setting of the disease into five subtypes include Classic Kaposi's sarcoma, African cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma, African lymphadenopathic Kaposi's sarcoma, Immunosuppression-associated Kaposi's sarcoma, and AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma.
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][3]
- 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.
| Types | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Classic (Mediterranean) Kaposi's sarcoma [4][5][6][7] |
|
| (Endemic) African cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma[8] |
|
| (Endemic) African lymphadenopathic Kaposi's sarcoma |
|
| Iatrogenic (transplant-related) Kaposi's sarcoma (immunosuppression-associated Kaposi's sarcoma)[9][10] |
|
| (Epidemic) AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma[11] |
