Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a malignant vascular tumor, caused by the human herpesvirus 8. It is one of the commonest tumors in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients and not uncommonly the first manifestation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Case. We present a case of an isolated bulbar conjunctival KS on a 43-year-old HIV positive male, with no other lesions. Excision and cryotherapy were performed, and the patient remains free of lesions to date. Conclusion. Isolated bulbar conjunctival KP is an unusual site for its initial presentation and must be kept in mind in HIV positive patients.
卡波西肉瘤(KS)是一种由人类疱疹病毒8引起的恶性血管肿瘤。它是人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)患者中最常见的肿瘤之一,也是获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)常见的首发表现。病例。我们报告一例43岁HIV阳性男性患者,仅出现球结膜卡波西肉瘤,无其他病变。进行了切除和冷冻治疗,患者至今无病变复发。结论。孤立性球结膜卡波西肉瘤是一种不常见的首发部位,HIV阳性患者必须予以关注。
