Kaposi's sarcoma of the penis is an initial manifestation of AIDS and the practising urologist should be aware of this form of presentation. We report 2 young intravenous drug abusers with this tumor in the male genitourinary system. The clinical course is unfavorable; therefore prompt diagnosis and management, based on the early recognition of the lesion, must be achieved.
