Introduction: Kaposi’s sarcoma is a common neoplasm in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Its presentation as an initial manifestation of AIDS is very rare . Objective: To report a rare case with Kaposi’s’s sarcoma as an initial manifestation of AIDS. Case: We report the case of a 37-year-old man who was a parenteral drug addict, HIV seropositive and was not under any treatment with a conjunctival lesion which was diagnosed as Kaposi’s sarcoma after surgical resection. Conjunctival Kaposi’s sarcoma is present frequently in HIV patients and lesions may be mistaken with other conjunctival lesions.
