This review provides a comprehensive overview of the broad clinicopathologic spectrum of cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions. Variants discussed include: usual KS lesions associated with disease progression (i.e. patch, plaque and nodular stage); morphologic subtypes alluded to in the older literature such as anaplastic and telangiectatic KS, as well as several lymphedematous variants; and numerous recently described variants including hyperkeratotic, keloidal, micronodular, pyogenic granuloma-like, ecchymotic, and intravascular KS. Involuting lesions as a result of treatment related regression are also presented.

这篇综述全面概述了皮肤卡波西肉瘤（KS）病变的广泛临床病理谱。讨论的变体包括：与疾病进展相关的常见 KS 病变（即斑片、斑块和结节期）；旧文献中提到的形态亚型，如间变和毛细血管扩张性 KS，以及几种淋巴水肿变体；以及最近描述的许多变体，包括角化过度、瘢痕疙瘩样、微结节性、化脓性肉芽肿样、瘀斑样和血管内 KS。还介绍了与治疗相关消退相关的退行性病变。
