Abstract | dc.description.abstract | Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa, a rare manifestation of Kaposi’s sarcoma, is a progressive cutaneous hypertrophy caused by chronic nonfilarial lymphedema secondary to obstruction of the lymphatic system
that can lead to severe disfigurement of parts of the body that have gravity-dependent blood flow, due to edema, fibrosis, and hyperkeratosis,
especially lower extremities. Among the various conditions that can induce chronic lymphedema are tumors, trauma, radiotherapy, obesity,
hypothyroidism, chronic venous stasis, and AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma. Kaposi’s sarcoma is a vascular tumor associated with the presence
of human gammaherpesvirus 8 that is predominantly cutaneous, locally
aggressive, with metastasis, and is associated with the production of factors that favor inflammation, lymphatic obstruction, and lymphedema. | es_ES |
