title: Eosinophilic globules in fibroadipose tissue adjacent to Kaposi's sarcoma.
abstract: Eosinophilic globules have been reported in the sarcomatous tissue of the cutaneous type of Kaposi's sarcoma. This report presents a case in which similar eosinophilic globules were found in uninvolved area of fibroadipose tissue adjacent to the sarcomatous tissue in a 30-year old African woman. The histochemical characteristics of these globules were identical to those found within the sarcomatous tissue. The origin of these globules is not known, but a possible explanation is offered.
