“…Immunopathology can also be used to distinguish between PKS and KS. 10 CD34 expression is positive in both endothelial cells and surrounding mesenchyme in all stages of KS, whereas in PKS, CD34 expression is only positive in the vascular endothelium and negative in the vascular mesenchyme. 10 Additionally, human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) can help identify these two diseases.…”

Our report concerns a 72-year-old female patient who presented with nodular ulcers on her right lower extremity and foot for a duration of 5 months. Based on the results of a dermatological examination, histopathological examination of the lesions, and immunohistochemical findings, we were able to diagnose the patient with Mari-type pseudocaposi sarcoma. Further research allowed us to clarify the distinction between this type of sarcoma and Kaposi’s sarcoma, which will be crucial in devising an effective treatment plan for the patient as we continue to monitor her progress during clinical supervision.

“…A differential diagnosis should be made to differentiate AAD from other conditions, such as Kaposi's sarcoma, vasculitis, actinic keratosis, stasis dermatitis, hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, and lymphangiosarcomas (7,8). It must be remarked that, in rare cases, AAD develops in patients presenting no CVI or any underlying AVMs (7,(9)(10)(11).…”

10.30699/jambs.27.123.49 Acroangiodermatitis (AAD), also known as Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma, is a rare benign angioproliferative disease associated with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) or other vascular disorders. We present an 81-year-old male with plaque-like cutaneous lesions, which had progressive erythematous margins, severe pain, and intense pruritus, as well as bilateral swollen and painful feet. It was around five months that he had these problems. Based on the pathology of skin lesion biopsy specimens and the immunohistochemical staining results (which indicated the positivity of CD34), the diagnosis of pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma was confirmed.

Within 2 years of defining acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) as a distinctive syndrome in 1981, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was identified as the causative agent. Dermatological involvement in AIDS has been appreciated since the disease was first recognised. Mucocutaneous involvement establishes criteria for diagnosis and staging; the prognostic significance of some complications, for example pruritic papular eruption/eosinophilic folliculitis, hairy leukoplakia and Kaposi sarcoma (KS), was well recognised before specific treatments were introduced. The proportion of patients with skin complications and the number of these manifestations in any one patient increase as HIV infection progresses and AIDS develops. The incidence and severity of several common cutaneous diseases (such as mollusca, herpes simplex and seborrhoeic dermatitis) are increased in patients with HIV and this correlates in many instances with the absolute numbers of CD4+ T cells. The effect HIV infection may have on some dermatological conditions such as psoriasis and leprosy is less clear‐cut. The advent of highly active combined antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been incalculably beneficial to patients with HIV, but novel side effects of these drugs (such as lipodystrophy) have emerged, and the skin can be affected by manifestations of the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome/immune reconstitution associated disease. The dermatological complications of HIV and AIDS may be distressing to patients and difficult for dermatologists to diagnose and manage. Also, many dermatoses presenting in the population at large need to be regarded as ‘indicator conditions’ to prompt advice about, and initiation of, HIV testing.
