Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been increasingly seen during the past decad e because of the current acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epi demic. In these patients, KS usually presents as disseminated disease. We report a case of KS diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy in a young homosexual man with cervical lymphadenopathy. The cytologic fi ndings leading to the diagnosis in the appropriate clinical setting an d the usefulness of factor VIII immunoperoxidase stain in identifying the endothelial origin of the tumor cells are presented.
