Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a low-grade, multicentric vascular neoplasm. Most commonly, it involves the skin, but it can occur at any site on the body. The cutaneous lesions are often located on the lower legs, genitalia, oral mucosa, and face. KS is categorized in four different types: classic, endemic, epidemic or AIDS associated, and transplantation associated. We report a case of HIV-negative, classic KS located on the eyelid. The eyelid lesion was completely excised, and after a 1-year follow-up, no recurrences were observed. Ocular involvement by KS in a patient who is serologically negative for HIV is extremely rare.
卡波西肉瘤(KS)是一种低度、多中心的血管性肿瘤。最常见的是累及皮肤,但也可发生在身体的任何部位。皮肤损害常位于小腿、生殖器、口腔黏膜和面部。KS 分为四种不同类型:经典型、地方性、流行性或 AIDS 相关型和移植相关型。我们报告一例 HIV 阴性的经典型 KS 位于眼睑。眼睑病变完全切除,随访 1 年后未观察到复发。HIV 血清学阴性患者的 KS 眼部受累极为罕见。
