An aggressive visceral form of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) has been reported in immunosuppressed populations, most notably in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This presentation contrasts from the indolent skin lesions on the extremities of older males and is distinct enough in the young adult American population to have been included in the working definition of AIDS. The authors describe a case of primary lymphadenopathic KS in an immunocompetent heterosexual 23-year-old man with no epidemiologic, immunologic, or serologic evidence of AIDS. This report emphasizes that a diagnosis of KS in a young American male is not synonymous with the diagnosis of AIDS.
