Penile Kaposi's sarcoma in a human immunodeficiency virus-seronegative patient

Penile Kaposi's sarcomas in a circumcised and HIV-seronegative patient

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) limited to penis is rare and usually observed in AIDS patients. However, in circumcised and HIV-seronegative patients, KS confined to the penis is extremely rare. We present the case of an HIV-seronegative and circumcised 55-year-old man, who presented with two reddish papules, one 5 mm in diameter on the coronal sulcus near the frenulum, and the other 2 mm in diameter on the glans penis, which were reported as a Kaposi's sarcoma after excision of the lesion.

Sildenafil citrate-aided radiotherapy for the treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma of the penis

We report a case of classical Kaposi's sarcoma involving multiple sites of the penis in a 62-year-old male who was treated with sildenafil citrate-aided electron beam therapy, resulting in complete resolution of the lesions.

Primary classic Kaposi's sarcoma of the penis: report of a case and review

Kaposi's sarcoma is a vascular tumour of multifocal origin occurring primarily on the extremities. The case of a 45-year-old HIV negative and HHV-8 positive man with an asymptomatic reddish macular lesion on the inner layer of the prepuce is described. Although primary penile Kaposi's sarcoma is a relatively uncommon disorder in HIV negative men, dermatologists and venereologists should consider this possibility when treating non-specific penile lesions. A minimal penile lesion with non-distinctive clinical features may sometimes be the exclusive manifestation of Kaposi's sarcoma, making histologic evaluation necessary to establish the diagnosis.
