title: [Histopathology of cutaneous lesions].
abstract: Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS syndrome differs in many ways from the typical nodular lesions observed in older patients. Clinical lesions are usually multiple with no predilection for the lower extremities; they usually present as small macules or patches with little or no infiltration, pink rather than deeply violaceous; indeed their clinical recognition may be difficult. Histological features of early patches of Kaposi are subtle: they are not as obvious as in well-developed nodular lesions: however certain precise clues exist which permit a correct diagnosis to be made.
