ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of solitary Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) of eyelid in an HIV-negative patient, which has not yet been reported in domestics. CASESUMMARY:
A 76-year-old woman was seen at our clinic with a purplish nodular mass on her left lower lid that had grown up for 4 months prior. There were no abnormal findings in the body except eyelid. In the routine laboratory examinations, the result of HIV test was negative. The lesion was completely excised and the eyelid was reconstructed by semicircular rotational flap procedure. The histopathologic examination showed spindle cells of mild atypism, intermixed with slit-like vascular spaces and red blood cell extravastaion. These findings coincided with KS and polymerase chain reaction was positive for human herpes virus-8. During 10 months follow up, there was no evidence of tumor recurrence and systemic abnormalities.CONCLUSIONS:
We experienced that Kaposi's sarcoma can occur solitarily in the eyelid of HIV-negative patient and favorable prognosis can be obtained by only surgical resection.
