Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) presents with variable severity in the context of HIV infection. Various therapeutic approaches can be taken, and these are determined by the extent and location of KS lesions and the severity of tumor-related symptoms. New insights into the pathogenesis of KS lesions may provide innovative treatment strategies and a more rational basis for the control of this neoplasm.
