Abstract
AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS), nowadays known to be an angioproliferative disease, occurs in several clinical-epidemiological forms, all of which are associated with infection by human herpesvirus-8. KS can affect the eye, with the bulbar conjunctiva and lacrimal gland being rare sites of occurrence. We present a case of AIDS-related KS of the conjunctiva and also discuss recent literature.Entities:
