  • Title: Primary classic Kaposi's sarcoma of the penis: report of a case and review.
    Author: Micali G, Nasca MR, De Pasquale R, Innocenzi D.
    Journal: J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol; 2003 May; 17(3):320-3. PubMed ID: 12702076.
    Abstract:
    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.
