Abstract
We report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in an HIV-negative man who has sex with men (MSM) that was successfully treated by topical application of imiquimod 5% cream (Aldara). Our case highlights a potentially effective and non-invasive method of treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma in the shortest timeframe yet recorded. The location of the lesions on the patient's penis also highlights the need for a non-invasive treatment.
