Kaposi's sarcoma rarely involves penis and is usually accompanied by other cutaneous, mucous or visceral lesions. We report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma of penis. Although Kaposi's sarcoma is known to be associated with an altered immune status, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and other causes of immunodeficiency were not found in this case. Key Words: Kaposi's sarcoma, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
