ABSTRACT
Kaposi's sarcoma, a rare tumor, usually presents itself with skin lesions. However, extracutaneous lesions are common and the gastrointestinal tract is often involved. Gastric Kaposi's sarcoma is usually asymptomatic, but may cause massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage, perforation, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, protein-losing enteropathy, or sepsis. The gastroscopic appearances of Kaposi's sarcoma range from reddish purple maculopapules to polypoid, umbilicated nodules. In Korea, only one case of gastric Kaposi's sarcoma had been reported until now. A case of gastric Kaposi's sarcoma treated with VP-16 (etoposide) is here in reported with the endoscopic findings before and after chemotherapy.
