Kaposi's sarcoma is an uncommon endothelial malignant tumor, first described by Moricz Kaposi in 1872. It is commonly encountered in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), immunosuppression or organ transplantation. Conjunctival Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare tumor, mostly in patients with AIDS. We present a selected case with a superior bulbar conjunctival lesion in a patient who is HIV negative and immunocompetent, with an unremarkable general medical history. The lesion was surgically excised with no adjunctive treatment, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. There was no recurrence or metastasis 5 years after surgery.
卡波西肉瘤是一种罕见的内皮恶性肿瘤,于1872年由莫里茨·卡波西首次描述。它常见于获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)、免疫抑制或器官移植患者中。结膜卡波西肉瘤是一种罕见肿瘤,多见于艾滋病患者。我们报告一例HIV阴性且免疫功能正常、既往病史无异常的患者,其球结膜上穹窿部有病变。该病变通过手术切除,未进行辅助治疗,组织学检查确诊。术后5年无复发或转移。
