Symptoms Of Kaposi's Sarcoma

Plaques And Nodules

Lesions on the skin can also take the forms of plaques and nodules. Plaques are slightly more elevated than patches, but still retain their flatness on top. Plaques in individuals with Kaposi's sarcoma do sometimes get misdiagnosed as conditions such as hemangioma and necrobiosis lipoidica. Mucosal or cutaneous cases tend to evolve from being patches to plaques, then they tend to progress into tumor nodules. Nodules are raised bumps on the skin. Kaposi's sarcoma nodules are usually easy to diagnose although there is still room for misdiagnosis. These tumorous nodules might bleed out quite easily since they tend to ulcerate.
