description Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common AIDS-related neoplasm and is one of the AIDS-defining illnesses. It most frequently presents with cutaneous lesions, but may also involve organ systems. Most cases of gastrointestinal (GI) involvement are clinically silent and found incidentally on imaging studies or endoscopy. Sole involvement of the GI tract can be seen with or without cutaneous disease; however, the latter has been reported as rare by some investigators. We report a case of a 25-year-old man with HIV who presented with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and disseminated GI involvement by KS.
