Abstract
Retiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare low-grade angiosarcoma of the skin. It shares some clinical characteristics with Kaposi's sarcoma, a tumor with known human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) association. We report a case of retiform hemangioendothelioma in which we detected HHV-8 DNA sequences.
