Abstract

Introduction: Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) is a neoplasm of the reticuloendotelial system that often manifests with multiple vascular, purplish-black lesions on the skin, mucous membranes or internal organs. It can affect people at all stages of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, as well as some HIV-negative people. KS is seen in 30-40% of patients with AIDS, often as the presenting sign. Although primary penile KS is uncommon in HIV negative men, one should consider this possibility when treating nonspecific penile lesions. We report a case of KS representing with only a lesion on the glans penis of a HIV negative patient.

Özet

Kaposi sarkomu (KS), sıklıkla deride, mukozal membranlarda ve iç organlarda mor-siyah lezyonlar olarak beliren bir retiküloendotelial sistem tümörüdür. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) enfeksiyonlarının her evresinde insanları etkileyebileceği gibi bazı HIV negatif olguları da etkileyebilir. KS Edinilmiş İmmün Yetmezlik Sendromu (AIDS) olgularının %30-40’ında sıklıkla ilk bulgu olarak görülür. Penisin KS’si HIV negatif olgularda ender olmasına karşın nonspesifik penil lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında bu olasılıkta düşünülmelidir. HIV negatif bir olguda sadece penis lezyonu ile tanı konulan bir KS olgusu sunulmak
