Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare subcutaneous lesion linked mainly with patients suffering from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The aim of the present study is to present the first documented case of classic Kaposi's sarcoma (CKS) located in the right true vocal cord. A 62 year old male presented with cough and hoarseness for 2 months. Clinical examination revealed a nodule on the right vocal cord. The patient underwent surgery and the lesion was removed and biopsied. The histopathology report showed that the lesion was KS but with no complete removal of the lesion, since the surgical margins of the nodule were not healthy. The patient, although fully informed, refused any further treatment. Further laboratory tests were performed, revealing an HIV-negative immunodeficiency profile. Although (Mediterranean) CKS is not an aggressive malignancy, surgery with complete removal of the affected area is indicated when it is applicable. Moreover, conservative treatment and follow up of the patient is essential in order to prevent relapse or other primary lesions.
