[Isolated rectal Kaposi's sarcoma].
We report a case of isolated rectal Kaposi's Sarcoma in a homosexual man with active Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection. Although gastrointestinal tract affection is not infrequent, it is usually associated with the existence of skin lesions. A few cases of noncutaneous gastrointestinal Kaposi's Sarcoma have been described, but no one affecting only the rectum. This is a diagnostic possibility in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection and rectal symptoms.
