Kaposi's sarcoma localized to the penis with striking lymphoedema is extraordinary. We report a middle-aged Haitian man who was human herpesvirus-8 seropositive, without evidence of immunosuppression or human immunodeficiency virus infection. He was first seen with Kaposi's sarcoma of 6 months duration localized to his penis, preceded by a 3-year history of chronic penile lymphoedema. His tumour regressed completely after radiotherapy. We propose that chronic lymphoedema in this patient predisposed to the development of Kaposi's sarcoma.
局限于阴茎且伴有明显淋巴水肿的卡波西肉瘤非常罕见。我们报告了一名中年海地男子，他血清人类疱疹病毒8型呈阳性，没有免疫抑制或人类免疫缺陷病毒感染的证据。他最初因阴茎出现持续6个月的卡波西肉瘤前来就诊，在此之前有3年的慢性阴茎淋巴水肿病史。放疗后他的肿瘤完全消退。我们认为该患者的慢性淋巴水肿易引发卡波西肉瘤。
