ABSTRACT
Since our first description and profile of patients with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in 1984, the relative rate of KS is patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome has dropped from 34//to 20//. However, the absolute number is increasing. The pathogenesis of KS is still obscure, and its interaction with the human immunodeficiency virus infection remains unclear. Cause of death is usually opportunistic infections in both endemic and epidemic KS. The most common intraoral site is the palate, which is involved in 95//of our cases. The oral cavity may be the only or first site of KS, and therefore, becomes important in the diagnosis. More than 20//of our current patient population had the oral cavity as the initial site of manifestation. Because of functional impairment, bleeding, pain, or cosmetic reasons, treatment is frequently required. There are many modalities used, including chemotherapy, radiation, and laser resection. Radiation appears to be a most effective and practical control measure for oral KS
