Abstract
Three Kaposi's sarcoma biopsy specimens obtained from three African patients with typical nodular cutaneous tumors were investigated morphologically for cellular modifications suggestive of a viral origin. In one case a Kaposi's sarcoma cell of the endothelial type contained a few intranuclear herpes-type viral inclusions. The present findings complement previous reports of herpes-type viral particles in Kaposi's sarcoma cultured cell lines and suggest that, at least under certain conditions, Kaposi's sarcoma cells enter a virus-producing phase.
