Thirty cases of cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) were evaluated and compared with eight cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related bacillary angiomatosis (BA). The morphologic features of both lesions were studied by light and electron microscopy and by immunohistochemistry with
BACKGROUND
The authors encountered six patients with Kaposi sarcoma in Okinawa; one was classic type, two were associated with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), one was with multiple myeloma, and two were with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In the classic type, many nodular lesions were seen
This study reviews data on the histogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma and angiosarcoma derived from clinical features, histology, electron microscopy, enzyme histochemistry, and immunochemistry of both diseases. Their hemorrhagic clinical appearance contrasts the predominantly lymphatic histologic
For an evaluation of the putative histogenetic relationship of synovia and synovial sarcomas, normal synovia, villonodular synovitis, and synovial sarcomas were compared for their patterns of expression of intermediate filaments of keratin and vimentin type and epithelial membrane antigen and for
Immunohistochemical studies were performed in thirty skin biopsies from patients with Kaposi's sarcoma, who did and did not have the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Tumour histogenesis was rigorously tested using a battery of endothelial cell markers, which included two new monoclonal
In this study we examined the staining reactivity of commercially available antisera to factor VIII related antigen (F VIII RAg) and Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA-I) on sections from 230 formalin fixed paraffin embedded tumours. These included 196 sarcomas, 20 carcinomas and 14 angiomas. All
Previous studies utilizing enzyme histochemistry, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry have failed to establish the cell of origin in Kaposi's sarcoma. The authors have rigorously tested the prevailing hypothesis that the lesion defined as Kaposi's sarcoma is derived from vascular
The histogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been the subject of controversy, much of which has centered around whether the spindle cells of KS are derived from vascular endothelium or from lymphatics. Recently, some investigators have speculated that the spindle cells of KS are derived from dermal
Early-stage lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) are composed of single-layered, highly flattened cells lining collagen bundles, whereas late-stage lesions contain densely packed, spindle-shaped cells. We examined the progression of KS lesions in oral mucosa and lymph nodes from patients with AIDS,
Four cases of Ewing's sarcoma, three in bone and one from an extraskeletal site, were studied immunohistologically using monospecific antibodies against intermediate filament proteins of keratin, vimentin, desmin and neurofilament types. All cases were also evaluated for the presence of Factor
The histogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma was investigated by immunohistochemical staining of 20 skin specimens that represented four main histologic stages. The early phase of Stage 1 contained lymphatic-like clefts lined by endothelial cells with thin, discontinuous basement membranes shown by
The nature of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) (vascular malignancy vs. discordant angiogenesis) and lineage of the progenitor cell remain unclear. Therefore, AIDS-KS enzyme isolate cultures were prepared from excised skin lesions. Endothelial marker positivity for Factor VIII related antigen (F8RAg), Ulex
Targetoid haemosiderotic haemangioma (THH) can be differentiated from other angiomatous lesions by the characteristic findings on clinical and histological examination. Clinically the solitary lesion is suggestive of a melanocytic or angiomatous origin, surrounded by a haemorrhagic halo in the acute
We describe the establishment of four continuous cell cultures isolated from pleural or peritoneal fluid of patients with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and show evidence that these cells are derived from vascular endothelium. Although provision of an extracellular matrix (fibronectin, laminin, or matrigel)
Cells derived from Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) were propagated in vitro using conditions which resulted in elimination of contaminating fibroblasts and the emergence of homogeneous cell populations which morphologically resembled smooth muscle cells and had neoplastic characteristics. In long-term
