Kaposi Sarcoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Kaposi sarcoma is a type of tumor that originates in the cells of the blood and lymphatic vessels, and usually appears on the skin.
Common symptoms: It can appear as reddish, purplish, or bruise-colored spots or lesions on the skin or mucous membranes.
Context: It is often associated with conditions in which the body's defenses are weakened.
Which specialist treats it? The oncologist is the right professional to study this type of tumor, and the pediatrician is involved when it occurs in minors. If you notice skin lesions that change or do not go away, it is wise to seek an evaluation to determine their nature.
