“…Histologically, KS is characterized by vessel-like sinuses lined by atypical, polymorphous endothelial cells, capillary growth and later on by the predominance of spindle-shaped eells. Furthermore hemosiderin, eosinophilic bodies and extravasated erythroeytes as well as plasmacells and lymphocytes were frequently observed in KS-lesions (6,8,9,(11)(12)(13).…”

“…The AlDS-associated epidemic KS is characterized by disseminated appearanee, last progress and early occutrence in lytnph nodes and/or internal organs such as liver, spleen and intestine (3,7); 30% of all patients suffering frotn AIDS develop KS (8); 50-70% of these in the oral cavity (6,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Recently, a decrease of KS incidence has been reported (14).…”

Ten biopsies of oral Kaposi's sarcoma were examined histologically and ultrastructurally. Histologically, early and late tumor stages could be differentiated. On the Ultrastructural level, endothelial‐like and spindle‐shaped tumor cells were revealed. Tumor cells associated with vessel‐like spaces showed partly interrupted basal membranes, Weibel‐Palade bodies, desmosomes and tight‐junctions, while spindle‐shaped cells lacked these Ultrastructural features of endothelial cells. Within the cytoplasm of endothelial‐like cells, aggregates of tubular structures were observed. Histological and Ultrastructural findings in oral Kaposi sarcoma are comparable to those of such other organs as skin and intestines. The Ultrastructural findings indicate an endothelial origin, at least of endothelial‐like tumor cells.

“…While there may not be any current prevalence data, Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in the oral cavity has been described in some of the earliest reports on AIDS, as well as in more recent papers [57][58][59][60][61][62]. Studies have described oral squamous-cell carcin o m a as well as oral l y m p h o m a of the non-Hodgkin's B-cell type [7,10].…”

HIV-associated oral lesions have been reported since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, be they fungal, viral, bacterial, neoplastic, or non-specific in origin. The most common lesions are oral candidiasis (OC; noted in several forms) and oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL). OC appears to be directly related to levels of immunosuppression while OHL, a newly described lesion, is associated with the Epstein-Barr virus. Although prevalence data for all types of oral lesions are scarce, this review identifies and describes those reported most often. Lesions associated with HIV may appear on most oral mucosal surfaces and may differ from those seen on other body areas. The role of saliva in reducing the potential for transmission of the HIV virus appears to be significant. Physicians and dentists should cooperate in the management of the HIV patient who has oral disease.

“…Patients with European Kaposi's sarcoma have elevated titers of serum-neutralizing and complement-fixing antibodies to CMV (147), a herpes virus and CMV-DNA has been demonstrated in the tumor tissue (150). Kaposi's sarcoma is now most commonly a manifestation of infection with HIV, that frequently affects the oral cavity (151,152). The ability of CMV to transform hamster cells in vitro also provides some support to an oncogenic role of this virus.…”
