Abstract

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative disorder caused by the gammaherpesvirus: human herpesvirus (HHV-8), also known as the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV).1 HHV-8 causes four subtypes of KS: acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related (epidemic) KS [the most common], Mediterranean (classic) KS, African (endemic) KS and iatrogenic KS [related to medically induced immunosuppression].
