Abstract
Oral Kaposi's sarcoma of a HIV seronegative patient is extremely rare. Here, we present a young patient with a primary lesion in the palatal mucosa as the sole manifestation of Kaposi's sarcoma.A 27-year-old man was referred to our clinic with a slowly growing dark-purple palatal mass. The diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma was made, with a histological subtype of multinodular variant. The disease was restricted and no further treatment was performed.This case indicates that oral Kaposi's sarcoma should be added to differential diagnosis of nodular with multinodular histological appearance in HIV seronegative patients.
