Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a pathological endothelial growth associated with human herpes virus-8 which primarily affects the skin. In HIV-negative men who have sex with men, the clinical presentation of KS resembles the classic form limited to cutaneous or multifocal disease. In this report, we present a unique case of a healthy 61-year-old man who has sex with men with an isolated gastrointestinal KS who does not meet criteria for any of the typical KS clinical variants. Proper follow-up and regular HIV screenings are needed to evaluate the potential progression course of the disease in these patients.
