Kaposi Sarcoma as Presentation of HIV - A Clinical Case.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is the most common neoplasm of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although, in the antiretroviral therapy (ART) era, KS is a rare form of presentation of HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The authors present a case of disseminated KS in a 23-year-old male. Just after the diagnosis the patient started ART and then chemotherapy with placlitaxel with clinical improvement. This case is highly representative of the complexity of HIV. The authors aim to bring awareness of an unusual form of presentation of HIV, and recall the severity and the necessity of an early diagnosis and treatment.
