Abstract

Classic-type of Kaposi´s sarcoma (CKS) is a human herpesvirus 8 (HHV 8) linked low-grade angioproliferative disease not related to impairment of the host immune response and typically occurring in older men of Mediterranean and East European areas. The most frequent presentation is multifocal in mucocutaneous sites, especially lower extremities, the trunk and oropharyngeal mucosa. We are reporting a case of a young Caribbean patient without immunodeficiency with a locally aggressive form of CKS limited to the supraglottis with a durable complete response with pegylated liposomal doxorubicine (PLD).
