Article Abstract
We describe the case of a 71-year-old man who developed classic Kaposi's sarcoma with conjunctival-palpebral involvement. The diagnosis was made based on clinical and histopathological findings. The lesions of the palpebral and conjunctival teguments were of a nodular tumorous aspect, their clinical particularities similar to other tegumental involvement. The clinical elements, histopathology, and pathogenesis are debated. The effects of local therapy, consisting of intralesional injections with alpha interferon and cryotherapy, were transient.
