Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a multifocal hemorrhagic sarcoma that occurs mainly in the extremities. KS limited to the penis is rare and usually associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The clinical presentations and courses of KS in the penis demonstrate variability, with limited reports of non-HIV-related primary KS. Herein, we present the case of a 27-year-old male patient with a classic form of KS who had a primary glans penile macular lesion. In more detailed evaluations, we found no evidence of immunosuppression or systemic involvement of the disease. There was no recurrence in the patient who underwent surgical excision, and he was followed up.

“…[ 7 ] The penis is one of the rarest presentation sites for classical KS, particularly in circumcised patients. Recently Cito et al [ 8 ] published a case report and review of the literature, and reported that only 33 HIV-negative patients with a penile lesion have been diagnosed as classical KS so far.…”

“…Studies show that the incidence rate in males is 2-3 times higher than in females. In Cito et al’s review of the literature, [ 8 ] they reported that the mean age of the patients with KS was 55.7 years (range 26-78 years). Our patient is 37 years old, had a single partner and was circumcised.…”

Kaposi's sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis in young patients with penile lesions and no risk factors. A 37-year-old heterosexual man with no other medical history applied presented with a non-itchy and painless penile lesion, for three months. The HIV 1-2 serology was negative via ELISA test. Histopathological analysis of the lesion revealed a tumor composed of atypical spindle cells, below a partially ulcerated surface. There was also an abundance of plasma cells admixed within the neoplastic cells. The patient was diagnosed as HIV-negative, HHV-8 positive Kaposi sarcoma. Although penile Kaposi sarcoma is extremely rare, classical Kaposi sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of penile lesions.
