Kaposi sarcoma is a tumour caused by human herpes virus 8, also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus. It usually affects the skin and oral mucosa; however, it can also sometimes affect the lungs, the liver, the stomach, the bowel, and lymph nodes. Several body sites may be affected simultaneously. The involvement of the tonsils is rare. We described an isolated localization of Kaposi's sarcoma of the right tonsil in a HIV-positive patient.

卡波西肉瘤是一种由人类疱疹病毒8型（也称为卡波西肉瘤相关疱疹病毒）引起的肿瘤。它通常影响皮肤和口腔黏膜；然而，有时也会影响肺部、肝脏、胃部、肠道和淋巴结。多个身体部位可能同时受到影响。扁桃体受累较为罕见。我们描述了一名HIV阳性患者右侧扁桃体孤立性卡波西肉瘤的病例。
