Jt. Yamashita et al., THE INSTRUST-VALUE OF PERLS STAIN FOR HIS TOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF KAPOSIS-SARCOMA, Annales de pathologie, 15(2), 1995, pp. 115-118
The authors studied 27 cases of Kaposi's sarcoma, 23 cases of pyogenic
granuloma, 18 cases of hemangioma, 17 cases of stasis dermatitis and
9 cases of dermatofibroma. In all these cases, they used the hematoxyl
in-eosin stain and Perls 'stain', and they showed the presence of hemo
siderin in all the cases of Kaposi's sarcoma and stasis dermatitis. Th
e hemangioma and the dermatofibroma presented 50% of positivity, and t
he pyogenic granuloma, only 26.1%.
