Case Report: We report a case of conjunctival Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in a nonimmunocompromised patient. The resected tumour recurred locally. No additional lesion was seen 20 months after the second surgery.
Comments: Before onset of AIDS, few reports described primary conjunctival KS, although it has been described in other immunocompromised disease stages, i.e. systemic KS.

Purpose: We describe a case of Classic Kaposi's sarcoma in a functionally monocular patient following a COVID19 vaccine booster and provide compelling evidence that suggests the booster was a relevant co-factor in the initiation of the disease process.
Observations: The patient presented with red, irritated conjunctival area described as "bubbling" in her right eye. While her past medical history includes hypercholesterolemia and hypertension, she had no history of a compromised immune system.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS), a multifocal vascular neoplasm frequently observed in HIV-positive individuals, primarily affects the skin, mucous membranes, visceral organs, and lymph nodes. KS is associated primarily with Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection. In this case report, we present a rare occurrence of co-infection and co-localization of KSHV and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in KS arising from the conjunctiva, which, to our knowledge, has not been reported previously.
