Rare Ocular Involvement in a Newly Diagnosed AIDS Patient With Diffuse Kaposi’s Sarcoma
2020
Overview
Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a cancer that often affects individuals with human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), those who have received an organ transplant, or others who are immunocompromised. KS is a vascular tumor that most often presents in cutaneous sites, including the lower extremities, oral mucosa, and genitalia. Literature regarding KS with ocular involvement is scarce. We present a rare case in which a patient diagnosed with AIDS-associated KS exhibited ocular and diffuse manifestations. The lesions of cutaneous KS are frequently mistaken for an alternative diagnoses; therefore, the clinician should have a high index of suspicion for this vascular tumor in AIDS patients.
