| Core Tip |
Kaposi sarcoma may be the first clinical indicator of previously undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus infection. This case demonstrates the coexisting histopathologic features of patch and plaque stages within a single biopsy specimen, highlighting key diagnostic features such as slit-like vascular spaces, spindle-cell proliferation, and confirmatory human herpesvirus 8 latent nuclear antigen-1 positivity. Recognition of these clinicopathological features is essential for differentiating Kaposi sarcoma from its mimickers and enables timely human immunodeficiency virus testing and early initiation of antiretroviral therapy, which may lead to lesion regression and improved clinical outcomes. |
