Kaposi's sarcoma is the most frequent malignancy associated with AIDS. The occurrence of Kaposi's sarcoma in the parotid region is extremely rare. In this publication we present a case of a 47-year-old male patient who developed a swelling of the left parotid tail that proved to be Kaposi's sarcoma of an intra parotid lymph node. A discussion of the etiological factors, clinical staging and management of KS, as well as the differential diagnosis of the parotid enlargement in AIDS patients, is presented.
