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