title: [Histological simulators of Kaposi's sarcoma in the initial phase].
abstract: Early Kaposi's sarcoma might be simulated by many different conditions, especially when the vascular component is prominent. the criteria suggested to differentiate early Kaposi's simulators are discussed. We found that these criteria are high in sensibility but low in specificity, therefore, we suggest using these criteria only when they are found in clusters.
