Diagnosis of Kaposi Sarcoma
Punch biopsy Doctors diagnose Kaposi sarcoma by doing a punch Biopsy , in which a small piece of skin is removed for examination under a microscope, is usually done to confirm the diagnosis of Kaposi sarcoma. For people with AIDS or immunosuppression, doctors do other tests to determine where the cancer has spread. Doctors usually do a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest and the abdomen and do other tests depending on the person's symptoms.
