Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a spindle cell malignancy of endothelial cell origin. The tumor has been demonstrated to be associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus-like virus (KSHV). Previous studies have revealed the distribution of unique viral strains in different ethnic populations. Eastern Taiwan has an ethnically mixed population with a relatively high incidence of KS. This study was designed to characterize the clinicopathologic features of KS and to evaluate the HHV-8 strain distribution in the Hua-Lien area of Eastern Taiwan.
