Abstract

Classic Kaposi’ssarcoma (KS) is usually present with asymptomatic brownish-red to purple or blue-coloured patches, plaques or nodular lesions most frequently located on the lower extremities, especially the ankles and soles. Penile Kaposi’s sarcoma is very rare and usually observed in AIDS patients. Herein we present an HIV-negative 66-year-old man who presented with a reddish, violaceous papule 0,3 cm in diameter on the glans penis and multipl violaceous papules on the palmar and dorsal side of the left hand, whose histopathological examination revealed KS. A diagnosis of Kaposi’s sarcoma was made after clinicopathological evaluation. The cure was obtained with interferon alfa-2b and radiotherapy.

Özet

Klasik Kaposi sarkomu (KS), ayak bileği ve ayak tabanı başta olmak üzere alt ekstremitelerde yerleşen asemptomatik, kahverengi-kırmızı, mor veya mavi renkte yama, plak ve nodüllerdir. Penil KS, oldukça nadirdir ve sıklıkla HİV pozitif hastalarda görülür. Burada polikliniğimize, glans peniste bir adet 0,3 cm çapında kırmızı, viyolase papül ve sol elin palmar ve dorsal yüzünde çok sayıda viyolase papüllerle başvuran ve histopatolojik olarak Kaposi sarkomu bulguları saptanan 66 yaşında HİV-negatif erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Klinikopatolojik değerlendirme sonucunda hastaya Kaposi sarkomu tanısı konuldu. İnterferon alfa-2b ve radyoterapi sonrası tam düzelme sağlandı.
