Visceral Kaposi's sarcoma is a common manifestation of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Most lesions are clinically silent, detected only by radiographic or endoscopic studies. We report the first instance of AIDS-related jejunal Kaposi's sarcoma presenting with small intestinal obstruction due to intussusception. Gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma is a clinical problem that may occur more frequently in the future.
