A case of multiple hemorrhagic Kaposi's sarcoma cured by X-rays
In 1872, Kaposi described a special form of skin disease, which he called idiopathic multiple pigment sarcoma. The disease is characterized by the appearance of tumors on the hands and feet, the size of a pellet, a pea or more, bluish-red, brownish-red in color, roundish in shape, dense-elastic consistency. These tumors sit deep in the corium. They are located either separately or merge with each other. In addition to tumors, bluish or red spots are observed in the same places, which quickly turn into solid infiltrates of varying sizes.
