Abstract

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is the most common malignant tumor in HIV-infected individuals. Although its most common form consists of skin and mucosal lesions, it can also present itself in a disseminated way affecting the gastrointestinal tract, lungs and eye structures.

Therefore, it is important to take this into account, particularly in HIV-infected individuals with characteristic cutaneous lesions.
