Benign vascular proliferation in a lymph node following acute toxoplasmosis. A differential diagnosis from Kaposi's sarcoma.

We describe an unusual intranodal vascular proliferation following acute toxoplasmosis in a man. This proliferation is distinct from other benign vasoformative nodal lesions. It could be interpreted as a reactive healing process that might be misdiagnosed as nodal Kaposi's sarcoma. Some criteria to avoid such misdiagnosis are presented.
