Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oncology
Pathology

Background:

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an AIDS-defining illness, but can occur in individuals without HIV.
Epibulbar Kaposi sarcoma (EKS) is a rare manifestation of KS, typically affecting the conjunctiva.

Observation:

This report describes a unique case of epibulbar Kaposi sarcoma in an adult patient.
The patient presented with ocular symptoms but had no evidence of cutaneous or systemic KS.
Clinical and pathological features of the EKS were thoroughly documented.

Findings:

The study illustrates the distinct clinical presentation and histopathological characteristics of EKS.
It emphasizes that EKS can occur as an isolated finding without other KS signs.
Diagnostic challenges and differential diagnoses for epibulbar lesions are discussed.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of KS presentation, particularly in ocular adnexa.
It underscores the need for ophthalmologists to consider KS in the differential diagnosis of epibulbar tumors.
Early recognition and diagnosis of EKS are crucial for appropriate management and prognosis.
