Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a systemic disease that can present with cutaneous lesions with or without internal involvement. It is the most common vascular neoplasm. It can involve any skin surface, including the genitalia. 1,2 KS limited to the external genitalia is rare in HIV sero-negative individuals. Kaposi sarcoma became known because of the correlation with AIDS-defining illnesses in the 1980s.3 This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
