Abstract
In conclusion, the great majority of angiosarcomas investigated to date, including the series of 40 angiosarcomas analysed here, does not contain HHV-8 DNA sequences or protein. This argues against a relevant role of the endotheliotropic HHV-8 in the pathogenesis of angiosarcoma and, for vascular diseases, speaks in favour of a relatively restricted pathogenic role of HHV-8 to Kaposi's sarcoma and multicentric Castleman's disease.
