Abstract
There are several oral lesions related with AIDS, such as candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, Kaposi's sarcoma, aphthous stomatitis, lichen planus, and other opportunistic infectious diseases. Among the others, Kaposi's sarcoma, the most common malignant tumor associated with AIDS, is closely linked to the number of CD4+ T cell. Kaposi's sarcoma often occurs in palate, the most prone site, and has characteristic clinical features in most cases. Sometimes, the tumor induces underlying bone destruction at late stage. We report a case of a 27 year-old man with AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma at left lower retromolar triangle, parapharyngeal area and discuss the management of AIDS patients in dentistry.
