Kaposi's sarcoma on face of AIDS patient
Kaposi’s sarcoma. Kaposi's sarcoma lesion on the face of a 44-year-old female patient with AIDS. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It causes a gradual weakening of the immune system, making otherwise harmless infections life-threatening. Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a cancer that causes patches of abnormal tissue to grow under the skin, in the linings of the mouth, nose and throat, or in other organs. The patches are usually dark purple and are made of cancer cells and blood cells. KS is now believed to be caused by a virus called human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8). In immunosuppressed patients HHV-8 is thought to encourage normal cells to change into tumour cells.
