Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is an endothelial neoplasm, originally reported by Moritz Kaposi in 1872. It most commonly involves the lower extremities. Its clinical presentation and course can be quite variable. We present a rare case of solitary incidental primary KS of the glans penis in a circumcised, immunocompetent male who is human immunodeficiency virus seronegative. The lesion was discovered incidentally when the otherwise asymptomatic male presented to our outpatient department for an unrelated issue and was given a physical examination. To our knowledge, this is the first incidentally discovered case of primary penile KS.
卡波西肉瘤(KS)是一种内皮肿瘤,最初由莫里茨·卡波西于1872年报道。它最常累及下肢。其临床表现和病程可能差异很大。我们报告了一例罕见的孤立性偶然原发性阴茎头KS病例,患者为行包皮环切术、免疫功能正常且人类免疫缺陷病毒血清学阴性的男性。该病变是在这名原本无症状的男性因无关问题前来我们门诊部就诊并接受体格检查时偶然发现的。据我们所知,这是首例偶然发现的原发性阴茎KS病例。
