Caption:
This highly magnified photomicrograph depicts the characteristic histopathologic changes found in a Kaposi’s sarcoma lesion. Termed pleomorphism, note how the nuclei vary in size and staining qualities, with some of the nuclei being atypical. Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a cancer that is common in those who have contracted the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and went on to develop the infection known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
