Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a tumor originating from endothelial cells, both vascular and lymphatic, and is associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). Four distinct KS subtypes have been defined: Classic, endemic, iatrogenic, and epidemic or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related KS. More recently a fifth subtype has been recognized in men having sex with men (MSM) in the absence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
