Kaposi's sarcoma is a malignant mesanchymal neoplasm that can be observed on all mucosal surfaces from the skin and mouth to the anus. Tumor; It manifests itself by forming lesions in the form of purple stains and / or nodules on the skin or mucous membranes. Tumor detected more frequently in men and individuals with impaired immune system; may cause lung and/ or lymph node metastasis in a short time. Although it does not pose a risk for our country; the contagiousness of the HIV-related agent known as Human Herpes Virus Type or KSHV (Kaposi's Sarcoma Related Herpes Virus) can create a risk due to the globalizing world.
