Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma is a multifocal malignant disease of vascular origin with a primary lesion of the skin, as well as internal organs and lymph nodes. According to various authors, it is believed that Kaposi's sarcoma is associated with herpes simplex virus type 8 (HHV-8).
According to the literature, the following types of Kaposi's sarcoma are distinguished: classical (European), immunosuppressive, endemic (African) and epidemic (this form of sarcoma is associated with the state of acquired immunodeficiency). Clinically, with Kaposi's sarcoma, rashes can vary depending on the form of the disease, among which there are spotty, papular and tumor forms. Also in the literature, some authors distinguish the 4th form of Kaposi's sarcoma ― bullous.
Diagnostic search for Kaposi's sarcoma is a difficult problem due to the large number of diseases of vascular origin, as well as their clinical similarity. The diagnostic methods described in the literature include many studies, including a blood test for HHV-8, as well as routine histological examination and immunohistochemistry.
The article presents a rare clinical case of Kaposi's sarcoma in a young girl with a long history of the disease.
