Conjunctival metastasis from Kaposi's sarcoma: a case report.
We present one case of Kaposi's sarcoma with conjunctive metastasis. The case describes a 71-years-old white male, who was admitted at hospital by malaise, slight pain on the left eyelid, nodular lesion of the left leg, and enlarge lymph nodes in inguinal regions. The conjunctive neoplasms are rare, and we most frequently can see the pigment ones followed by squamous epithelials and lymphomas. The primary Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) from conjunctiva is a rare tumor and it has increased by AIDS emergence and immunosuppression. The appearance of conjunctival metastasis from KS is a stand out event.
