Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a multicentric angioproliferative disorder characterized by spindle cell proliferation, neo-angiogenesis, inflammation, and edema. Human herpesvirus (HHV)-8, a gamma-herpesvirus, is a critical factor, but is not alone sufficient for the initiation of KS. Other cofactors such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), host-derived cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors are required for the development of KS. Whether HIV-associated KS is a reactive hyperplastic inflammatory lesion or a true neoplasm is still controversial. It is likely that HIV-associated KS begins as a reactive disorder that in some cases progresses to a monoclonal, an oligoclonal, and a polyclonal neoplasm.
卡波西肉瘤(KS)是一种多中心性血管增殖性疾病,其特征为梭形细胞增殖、新生血管形成、炎症和水肿。人疱疹病毒(HHV)-8,一种γ疱疹病毒,是一个关键因素,但并非引发KS的唯一充分条件。KS的发展还需要其他辅助因素,如人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)、宿主来源的细胞因子、趋化因子和生长因子。HIV相关的KS是一种反应性增生性炎症病变还是一种真正的肿瘤仍存在争议。HIV相关的KS很可能始于一种反应性疾病,在某些情况下会发展为单克隆、寡克隆和多克隆肿瘤。
