“…The histological pattern is not so different from KS seen in other areas of the body showing groups of spindle cells, extravascular erythrocytes, and macrophages filled with hemosiderin (1). The main target of therapies is to decrease the symptoms, reduce the size, the number of the lesions and to delay the disease progression (11). Many therapeutic approaches have been described: Surgical excision, cryosurgery, radiation therapy, thermo-photoablative, laser therapy, local and systemic chemoterapy, α-and β-interferon (6).…”

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) of the penis is a very rare lesion and it is usually observed in HIV-infected patients. We introduce a case of KS of the penis in a 75 years old HIV negative patient with a peripheral T-cell lymphoma. He came to our attention with a painful ulcerated red lesion on the glans that stretched from the urethral meatus to the coronal skin. This lesion was found to be a KS balanopreputial in the classical variant. Penile KS must be included in the differential diagnosis of genital diseases especially when the clinical features of the lesion are aspecific and diagnosis can be made histologically by performing a biopsy.KEY WORDS: Kaposi sarcoma; Penile lesion; HIV negative; HHV-8; T-cell lymphoma. The abdominal CT scan showed no inguinal lymph nodes or other suspected lesions. Due to an extended lesion and to the absence of a clear diagnose it was decided to perform a glansectomy. The histopathology examination described a classical balanopreputial KS. Six months later the patient was negative for local recurrence but a secondary gastrointestinal lesion was detected during a whole body CT scan and a gastric biopsy was performed. The patient is currently under therapy with interferon.

“…Ulceration and perilesional edema may be present. The mucosa is affected in around 15% of patients and the visceral form of the disease most commonly affects the lymph nodes and the digestive tract; 12 however, the liver, lungs and heart may also be affected, as well as other organs. In the case described here, the lesions were extremely aggressive.…”

First described in 1872, Kaposi's sarcoma is defined as a rare multifocal tumor that originates in the endothelial cells and presents with cutaneous and extracutaneous manifestations. The classic form is most common in elderly men and progression is slow. This tumor responds well to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This report describes a classic case of Kaposi's sarcoma in a woman with skin and visceral manifestations in whom the disease rapidly progressed to a fatal outcome. Keyword: Herpesvirus 8, human; Sarcoma, Kaposi; Skin tumors Resumo: Descrito em 1872, o sarcoma de Kaposi é neoplasia multicêntrica rara originária de células endoteliais com manifestação cutânea e extracutânea. A forma clássica é muito mais frequente em homens idosos, com evolução prolongada e boa resposta a quimioterapia e radioterapia. Apresentaremos um caso de sarcoma de Kaposi clássico com comprometimento cutâneo e visceral em paciente do sexo feminino com rápida evolução fatal.
