 AB    Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a malignant vascular neoplasm characterized, in
       its classical form, by a slow evolutive course, beginning in the lower
       extremities. Lately have been reported more and more cases of this
       entity associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),
       running much more aggressively. In ENT-pathology are not uncommon this
       kind of neoplasm in the oral cavity and oropharynx. However at larynx's
       level such descriptions till now had been sporadic. The AA. present a KS
       case sitting in the epiglottis of an AIDS patient. They emphasize the
       importance of a throughout ENT-examination of these patients and also
       remark the necessity of performing various and deep biopsies in order to
       gain a diagnosis that can be relied on. Finally, they review the updated
       management alternatives for this sort of pathology.
