Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative disorder caused by human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection. KS manifests as vascular and mucosal nodules and is classified into four subtypes based on epidemiology, clinical presentation, histopathology, and HHV-8/human immunodeficiency virus serology. Here, we present a unique case of classic KS in an 84-year-old immunocompetent Haitian male patient, highlighting the rarity of this variant in this population. Additionally, our article delves into the broader context by reviewing a few documented cases of classic KS in the Caribbean region.
卡波西肉瘤（KS）是一种由人类疱疹病毒8型（HHV-8）感染引起的血管增殖性疾病。KS表现为血管性和黏膜性结节，根据流行病学、临床表现、组织病理学以及HHV-8/人类免疫缺陷病毒血清学分为四种亚型。在此，我们报告一例84岁免疫功能正常的海地男性经典型KS的独特病例，凸显了该变体在这一人群中的罕见性。此外，我们的文章通过回顾加勒比地区一些已记录的经典型KS病例，深入探讨了更广泛的背景情况。
