Abstract: Head and neck involvement of Kaposi's sarcoma is rarely encountered, especially for the Mediterranean classic subtype. Here we report a case of non-AIDS related laryngeal Kaposi's sarcoma in a 77-year-old Tunisian man complaining of 4-month history of hoarseness and dysphagia. The patient underwent exclusive local radiotherapy with a prescription dose of 45 Gy delivered in 1.8 Gy daily fractions. He remained complaint-free for 3 months.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright: Zeineb Naimi et al.)
