A case of pseudo-Kaposi sarcoma of the feet (acroangiodermatitis) is reported. The patient showed clinical and light-microscopic signs closely resembling Kaposi's sarcoma, but by electron microscopy of skin biopsies definite signs of degeneration of vascular walls and infiltrating cells were demonstrated. Electron microscopy should be applied when conventional histology is inconclusive or fits poorly to the anamnestic information and/or clinical appearance of the lesions.
报告了一例足部假性卡波西肉瘤(肢端血管性皮炎)病例。患者表现出与卡波西肉瘤极为相似的临床和光学显微镜体征,但通过皮肤活检的电子显微镜检查发现了血管壁和浸润细胞退化的明确迹象。当传统组织学诊断不明确或与病史信息及病变临床表现不符时,应采用电子显微镜检查。
