Bone lesions in Kaposi's angiogenous reticulosis
Abstract
The bone lesions usually seen in Kaposi's sarcoma are described. Three patients with moderately severe skin lesions who showed bone lesions are reported. X-rays examination showed different types of pathologic aspects which are described. A thorough evaluation searching for bone lesions should be made in all cases of Kaposi's sarcoma, mainly those with extensive cutaneous lesions.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
