“…Kaposi sarcoma is a malignant vascular neoplasm induced by human herpesvirus type 8, which frequently occurs in cases of severe immunosuppression, such as AIDS. 16,17 Although in our case opportunistic infections common in cases of severe immunosuppression were ruled out, a recent study showed that the involvement of the gingival and hard palate by Kaposi sarcoma in people living with HIV was 9.7% and 35.5%, respectively. 17 Furthermore, nodules (33.5%) and tumors (48.4%) accompanied by bleeding (58%) stand out as the most frequently reported clinical presentations in individuals with Kaposi sarcoma.…”

Oral tumours may present a wide diversity of presentations, varying from single spots to bleeding, painful and necrotic swellings ( 2 , 19 ). They also may present colour alteration in the buccal mucosa due to their angiogenic origin, ranging from red to purple lesions ( 5 , 7 , 8 , 19 ).…”
