HIV-Negative Gastric Kaposi's sarcoma: A Case Report
Kaposi's sarcoma is a mucocutaneous disease that mainly affects the elderly and HIV-infected individuals. However, digestive localization has often been observed during upper digestive endoscopies performed to search for secondary localization. It most often occurred in non-immunocompetent patients. However, endoscopy remains the examination of choice for confirming digestive tract involvement in KS. KS is diagnosed histologically, but in the literature, only 15-20% of endoscopic biopsies are positive for KS. We report a gastric case of Kaposi's sarcoma patient with negative HIV serology who was referred to a digestive endoscopy unit in search of secondary digestive lesions.
