Abstract:
A case of Kaposi's sarcoma in the left cerebellar hemisphere of a patient with AIDS is presented. The lesion was not detected with imaging techniques in the patient who, during the clinical course, did not show neurological signs and symptoms. This small nodular lesion was only revealed at autopsy. This rare finding is an example of the broad spectrum of central nervous system involvement in HIV-1-infected individuals.
