Most cases affect the skin, isolated involvement of the upper respiratory tract without skin involvement is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. We present a case of isolated nasopharyngeal KS in an immunocompetent patient who achieved remission after multimodality therapy. Recent advances in KS-therapy are discussed.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 InternationalKaposi sarcomanasopharynximmunocompetentcancer treatment protocolsArticle
