Abstract
We present a 21-year-old HIV-negative Somalian male who was diagnosed with an immunohistochemically proven human herpes virus 8 (HHV8)-positive primary penile Karposi’s Sarcoma (KS). He was treated with local surgery and remained in complete clinical remission for 18 months. This is the first case of a heterosexual teenage and young adult (TYA) patient diagnosed with a primary penile KS without a history of sexual intercourse. This case provides clinical evidence that KS may be transmitted through routes other than sexual transmission.
