Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare neoplasm of endovascular cells with multifocal origin. The exact nature of the disease is not clear, but current data support the notion that KS is a vascular hyperplasia with a tight link to human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection. Classic KS occurs primarily on the lower extremities in elderly men living in the Mediterranean region. Penile involvement has rarely been reported in non-human immune deficiency virus (HIV) patients. Herein we present a 71-year-old HIV-negative man with isolated KS on the penis who was treated successfully with radiotherapy. A review of the literature is also presented.
卡波西肉瘤(KS)是一种起源多灶的罕见血管内皮细胞肿瘤。该病的确切性质尚不清楚,但目前的数据支持KS是一种与人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV-8)感染密切相关的血管增生这一观点。经典型KS主要发生在地中海地区老年男性的下肢。在非人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)患者中,阴茎受累的情况鲜有报道。在此,我们报告一例71岁的HIV阴性男性,其阴茎单独发生KS,经放射治疗成功治愈。同时还对相关文献进行了综述。
