Kaposi's sarcoma of the vulva
Vulvar Kaposi's sarcoma is a malignant tumor of the vulva that grows slowly and is accompanied by vulvar itching and burning sensation, vulvar pain and vaginal discharge, surface skin ulceration, and lower limb lymphedema. Vulvar Kaposi's sarcoma is relatively rare and is more common in men. The incidence rate in women is only 6% to 10%, and the incidence rate is high in AIDS patients. Kaposi's sarcoma is usually divided into classic or European Kaposi's sarcoma, African or regional Kaposi's sarcoma, immunosuppressant-induced and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, and transplant-related Kaposi's sarcoma.
