SUMMARY
Classic KS is usually present with asymptomatic brownish-red to purple or blue-coloured patches, plaques or nodular lesions most frequently located on the lower extremities, especially the ankles and soles. Penile Kaposi�s sarcoma is very rare and usually observed in AIDS patients.
Herein we present an HIV-negative 66-year-old man who presented with a reddish, violaceous papule 0,3 cm in diameter on the glans penis and multipl violaceous papules on the palmar and dorsal side of the left hand, whose histopathological examination revealed KS. A diagnosis of Kaposi�s sarcoma was made after clinicopathological evaluation. The cure was obtained with interferon alfa-2b and radiotherapy.
