Driven by co-infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8/KSHV) alongside HIV-induced immunosuppression and cytokine dysregulation, it primarily targets vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells

Clinically, it presents as characteristic red, purple, or brown macules, plaques, or nodules on the skin and mucous membranes, frequently accompanied by lymphedema

It may also progress aggressively to involve extracutaneous sites, notably the lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, and pulmonary parenchyma
