Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma of the breast is extremely rare. We report a case of a pat ient with AIDS presenting with Kaposi's sarcoma localized to the breast and review another published case of a patient with AIDS and disseminated cuta neous Kaposi's sarcoma with breast involvement. Although rare, the diagnosi s should be considered in patients with breast lumps.
