Kaposi's sarcoma

Kaposi's sarcoma is a malignant tumor caused by human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection. It often presents as multiple macules, plaques, or nodular skin lesions, and can also affect mucous membranes, lymph nodes, and internal organs. The incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma is higher among people with AIDS. This disease has a regional distribution in Africa, and classic Kaposi's sarcoma is also prevalent in the Xinjiang region of China, mainly seen in local ethnic minorities. According to the different clinical manifestations of Kaposi's sarcoma in different high-risk populations, it can be divided into four subtypes: classic type, African type, iatrogenic immunosuppression type, and AIDS-related type.

Melanoma

Melanoma is a tumor originating from melanocytes, characterized by a high degree of malignancy. It primarily occurs on the skin but can also develop in various other sites or tissues, including mucous membranes (including visceral mucosa), the uvea of the eye, and the soft meninges. In the Chinese population, it is commonly found on acral skin (such as the soles of the feet, toes, fingertips, and subungual areas) and mucous membranes (such as the nasal cavity, oropharynx, and upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts). This disease is more prevalent in adults over 30 and the elderly, with a higher incidence in males than females. Male patients also have a higher mortality rate. It is rare in children. Key symptoms include the appearance of asymmetric patches with uneven color, irregular borders, and a diameter often greater than 6 mm.
