Snapshot Look at Castleman Disease. [PDF]

J Cell Mol Med
ABSTRACT Castleman disease (CD) is a rare and heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders characterised by abnormal proliferation of lymphoid tissue. First described in the 1950s, it has since been classified into two major clinical forms: unicentric CD (UCD), involving a single lymph node region and multicentric CD (MCD), which affects ...

Gastric Kaposi Sarcoma With Distinct "Lobster-Like" Endoscopic Lesions in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Positive Patient. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is a rare vascular tumor linked to Human Herpesvirus‐8 (HHV‐8) infection, most often affecting immunocompromised patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Gastrointestinal KS (GI‐KS) is frequently underdiagnosed, particularly in resource‐limited settings, and may present with ...

Sensitivity and specificity of D2-40 in differentiating Kaposi sarcoma from its mimickers

Journal of the Egyptian Women’s Dermatologic Society, 2021
Background Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a low-grade malignant vascular neoplasm, whose etiology is associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8). Owing to its broad clinicopathological spectrum, KS mimics a variety of non-KS vascular lesions both clinically and ...

KSHV/HHV8‐associated lymphomas [PDF]

British Journal of Haematology, 2007
SummaryThis review looks at the current state of knowledge on primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and other Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8)‐associated lymphomas. In 1995, KSHV DNA sequences were identified within a distinct subgroup of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome‐related non‐Hodgkin lymphomas localized in body cavities ...

HHV8 in renal transplant recipients [PDF]

Transplant International, 2000
Human herpevirus 8 (HHV8) DNA sequences have been found in lesions from patients with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in several forms including immunosuppressed transplant patients. We wanted to study the transmission of HHV8 in kidney transplant recipients and to assess the risk of development of KS related to the viral infection in this group of patients.
