This is a fifteen years' retrospective analysis of 37 kaposi's sarcoma cases diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Addis Ababa University Medical Faculty between 1981-1994 G.C.. There were 12 female (32%) and 25 male (66%) patients. The median age was 35 years. There was a marked increase in 1994 when 14 cases (38%) were diagnosed. The most frequent site of the lesion is the lower extremeties followed by lymph nodes. The predominant histologic findings were spindle cell proliferation, vascular proliferation, extravasation and slit spaces. The authors believe that the finding of this study may serve as a base-line data for future studies.
