case_images: Ulcerated nodules were seen on the roof of the mouth, and black nodules were seen in the eyes and corners of the mouth (Figure 1), which gradually increased over the past 6 months.
case_images: Computed Tomography (CT) of the lungs showed many small patches, nodules, and patchy high-density shadows, with blurred boundaries and uneven density (A). After six months of treatment, CT of the lung condition improved (B).

case_images: One week after admission to the hospital, the patient's orbital skin biopsy showed CD34(+) CDX2(-) D2-40(+) HHV8(+) Ki-67(50%+), positive HHV-8 in skin lesions is the gold standard for identification, which was made a definite diagnosis of Kaposi sarcoma (Figure 3).
