Figure 2

(a) Patient’s skin biopsy showing immunohistochemical stain for HHV8. There is a strong nuclear reactivity in the endothelial cells as well as some of the stromal spindle cell component. (b) and (c) H and E staining of skin biopsy from the patient. Within the dermis are markedly dilated vascular spaces lined by prominent endothelial cells. Within the stroma are few spindle cells without apparent atypia. This represents the lymphangioma-like variant of Kaposi sarcoma.
