This is a tumoral disease that is always fatal but develops at a very variable pace; it is considered to be very rare outside certain ethnic groups. The disease has recently acquired a high incidence in the course of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Involvement of the hands is very often the first sign of the condition.
