case_images: CKA-associated cutaneous manifestations initiated with the first lesion on the right ear. CKS diagnosis was histopathologically confirmed by a biopsy and a positive HHV-8 stain, subsequently managed by surgical excision (Figure 3 and Figure 4). Shaved biopsies revealed spindle cell proliferation with mitosis, heightened vascularity, and red blood cell extravasation (Figure 3).
case_images: HHV-8 stain performed confirming the diagnosis of CKS.. HHV-8: human herpesvirus-8; CKS: classic Kaposi sarcoma
