The ultrastructural morphology of both the classical and the AIDS-associated forms of Kaposi's sarcoma was examined electron-microscopically. Tubuloreticular structures were found only in the AIDS-associated form of Kaposi's sarcoma, and not in the classical variant of the tumor. Moreover, the tubuloreticular structures, 20-30 nm in diameter, were present in very high numbers and in two different forms: the loosely intertwined tubuli, which were clearly predominant; and those forming a more compact pattern. These findings suggest that the presence of tubuloreticular structures may well be an ultrastructural marker for diagnosing AIDS and AIDS-associated disorders.
利用电子显微镜检查了经典型和艾滋病相关型卡波西肉瘤的超微结构形态。仅在艾滋病相关型卡波西肉瘤中发现了管网状结构，而在该肿瘤的经典变体中未发现。此外，直径为20 - 30纳米的管网状结构大量存在，且呈现两种不同形式：明显占主导的松散交织的细管；以及形成更紧密模式的细管。这些发现表明，管网状结构的存在很可能是诊断艾滋病及艾滋病相关疾病的超微结构标志物。
