10 Key Indicators of Kaposi Sarcoma

7. Severe swelling

If the Kaposi Sarcoma is present in the body but not associated with the HIV, it is often restricted to the lower extremities. Lesions can still appear on the legs or groin, which may block the flow of fluid in the legs. This often causes an amount of swelling in the limbs to get under control. In some cases the swelling is extreme. For milder cases, techniques such as elevating the leg when sleeping can help drain the leg or wearing support bandages with lymphatic compression therapy to reduce the size and move the liquid stuck in the limb.
