The penis is an unusual site of presentation for Kaposi sarcoma, especially in immunocompetent patients.
A 52-year-old human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seronegative man presented with a reddish, 8 mm in diameter nodule on the glans penis near the coronal sulcus. Histopathology after excision of the lesion was consistent with Kaposi sarcoma. No other cutaneous or mucosal manifestations were present. After a follow-up period of 2 years, no recurrence was observed.
This unusual case suggests that Kaposi sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of macular, papular, and nodular lesions involving the penis.
阴茎是卡波西肉瘤的一个不常见的发病部位，尤其是在免疫功能正常的患者中。
一名 52 岁的人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）阴性男子因冠状沟附近阴茎头部出现一个直径 8 毫米的红色结节而就诊。病变切除后的组织病理学检查结果符合卡波西肉瘤。没有其他皮肤或黏膜表现。随访 2 年后，未观察到复发。
这个不常见的病例表明，对于累及阴茎的斑疹、丘疹和结节性病变，应考虑卡波西肉瘤的鉴别诊断。
