Kaposi's sarcoma

Malignant (cancerous) tumour developing from blood vessels in the skin. Previously rare in the Western world, it is now seen in patients with AIDS.

Twenty percent of HIV-infected gay men develop KS, and it is almost exclusively confined to this section of the population. KS-associated herpes virus (KSHV), identified 1994, may be the cause of the sarcoma.
