Conjunctival Kaposi’s sarcoma with orbital extension in an HIV-negative man
Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a vascular tumour whose development requires infection by human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). Although most commonly found in immunosuppressed patients, such as those AIDS, in the United States, classic KS is often found in older-aged men of European or Mediterranean ancestry without immunosuppression. Involvement of the skin of one’s extremities in classic KS is typically more common than that of viscera or mucocutaneous surfaces.
