title: [Orbital location of Kaposi's sarcoma].
abstract: Kaposi's sarcoma is a proliferative disease, probably induced by human herpes virus type 8 (HHV8). Its expression is cutaneous and visceral, with four clinical forms. An orbital location of Kaposi's sarcoma remains exceptional. In order to evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic objectives of this tumor location, we report a case of a 58-year-old patient hospitalized in the ophthalmology department for a surgically treated right orbital tumor.
