description Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a neoplasm of endothelium-derived cells that are associated with human herpesvirus 8 infection. In the setting of HIV, extensive disease typically necessitates highly active antiretroviral therapy in conjunction with chemotherapy. We report a patient who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms and was found to have KS presenting only as cratered gastric ulcers. The patient declined chemotherapy and was treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy alone and had complete resolution of KS on endoscopy and imaging up to 3 years later.
