2014 
Kaposi’s sarcoma is a rare condition due to HHV8 viral infection which is common in patients with AIDS. Ocular location is rare and conjunctival forms represent 7 to 18%. It usually occurs in the context of a multicentre disease. Isolated ocular involvement is extremely rare. We report a case of a woman with a Kaposi’s sarcoma of the bulbar conjunctiva that revealed infection with human immunodeficiency virus.
