ABSTRACT

Kaposi’s sarcoma is a multifocal vascular tumor which is related to human herpes virus type 8. The genital involvement in Kaposi’s sarcoma is infrequent mostly in HIV - patients. Lesions in this area show similar clinical and histological features as Kaposi’s sarcoma lesions in other locations. However, the differential diagnosis is interesting taking into account other dermatological conditions than present with genital lesions. We report a case of classic Kaposi’s sarcoma located in the penis.
