%X El Sarcoma de Kaposi es un tumor vascular de la piel, m芍s frecuente en hombres mayores de 50 a os, de larga evoluci車n y baja mortalidad. Cada d赤a cobran mayor inter谷s los elementos epidemiol車gicos, como su relaci車n con el SIDA (aumento de incidencia en j車venes y ni os, con una agresividad no habitual) y con la inmunosupresi車n en pacientes transplantados. Se atribuye una fuerte relaci車n del Herpesvirus 8 como uno de los factores etiopatog谷nicos, y el tratamiento se ha reorientado en base a estos, pero a迆n no existe una terapia 100 % eficaz. A bibliographic review was done on Kaposi's sarcoma with the purpose of updating this topic, mainly in relation to its etiopathogenic aspects and therapeutic behavior. Kaposi's sarcoma is a vascular tumor of the skin, most frequently seen in men over 50 years, which develops throughout many years, rarely causing death. Its epidemiological elements have greater significance each day, such as its relation to AIDS and immunosuppresion in kidney transplants, as well as other organs.In the past years it has been observed worldwide in young patients, even children, with an unusual aggressiveness, more lesions and dissemination in the body, due to its relation to AIDS. A strong relation to Herpesvirus 8 is considered as one of the etiopathogenic factors, and treatment has been changed accordingly, but there is no 100% effective therapy.
