TLDR
A 65-year-old female patient with human immunodeficiency virus negative KS is presented along with her whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging findings.Abstract:
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a vascular neoplasm that often manifests with multiple vascular nodules on the skin and other organs. Various imaging modalities can be used to display disease extent. Herein we present a 65-year-old female patient with human immunodeficiency virus negative KS along with her whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging findings.read more

TL;DR: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare, atypical malignancy associated with immunosuppression and can be qualified as an opportunistic tumor, which responds to immune modulation or restoration.

Imaging of Kaposi sarcoma.
TL;DR: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a form of cancer that primarily appears on the skin but can potentially involve internal organs as mentioned in this paper.There are several types of KS and their appearance on imaging, differential diagnoses associated with these findings, and molecular markers associated with KS that can aid appropriate diagnosis and therapy.

TL;DR: FDG PET/CT showed good sensitivity and specificity for KS staging (digestive involvement excepted) and could be used for staging patients with active KS and, if positive, be useful for therapeutic evaluation and follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endemic Kaposi’s Sarcoma
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provide an overview of the clinical characteristics and discuss the therapeutic challenges of the endemic Kaposi's sarcoma subtype, which can follow an aggressive clinical course with ulcerative skin lesions with soft tissue invasion or even bone or visceral involvement.

TL;DR: The epidemiology, pathogenesis, histologic features, clinical spectrum, staging criteria, and treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma are reviewed.

TL;DR: The ACTG TIS classification predicts survival in patients with AIDS-associated KS;CD4 count and tumor stage provide the most predictive information, however, a lower CD4 count than the one originally proposed provides better discrimination between prognostic groups.

FDG-PET Imaging in HIV Infection and Tuberculosis

TL;DR: Using FDG-PET imaging, it was shown that in HIV-infected individuals, involvement of the head and neck precedes that of the chest and of the abdomen, suggesting the existence of a diffusible activation mediator that may be targeted via therapeutic intervention strategies.

TL;DR: A thallium-positive, gallium-negative pattern in AIDS patients has a high specificity for the diagnosis of kaposi sarcoma, however, the sensitivity dropped from 89% to 37% in the presence of opportunistic infections.
