Abstract
We present a case of an isolated bulbar conjunctival Kaposi's sarcoma in a man with HIV infection. This is an unusual site for the initial p resentation of Kaposi's sarcoma and in this site can be confused with a caroticocavernous fistula, cavernous haemangioma or chronic subconju nctival haemorrhage. Biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis in is olated disease. Local radiotherapy is the preferred treatment for isol ated Kaposi's sarcoma.
