Abstract
Abstract Case report We report a case of 70-year-old male from Sicily, who presented with a bilateral eyelid mass involving the tarsal conjunctiva, found to be Kaposi's sarcoma on histologic examination. Cutaneous and pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma involvement was documented. The patient had no prior diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus infection. This case was managed successfully after the completion of five cycles of chemotherapy with liposomal doxorubicin, and his eyelid, skin and pulmonary lesions disappeared. Conclusions Location in the eyelid is a possible, though rare, initial solitary manifestation of Kaposi's sarcoma in elderly HIV-negative patients. Liposomal doxorubicin is a safe and effective treatment.
