Özet

INTRODUCTION: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare angioproliferative disorder of the vascular endothelium. The development of KS requires Human Herpes Virus 8 (HHV-8) infection. An associated HIV infection is usually seen. Isolated scrotal KS has rarely been reported. In this article, we present a case of KS that primarily involved the scrotum in a HIV negative patient.
